The Fantasy Sports Review posted 3/31/2008 from www.chicagosportsreview.com
Next Saturday in San Antonio will mark the first time four number one seeds will do an on-court two-step in the Final Four. UCLA-Memphis, Kansas-North Carolina will be the matchups. Saturday, UCLA boa constrictor-ed Xavier 76-57.

If Kansas hopes to take home the title Monday night, they'll need to repeat their defensive effort from Saturday against a Memphis team firing on most if not all cylinders. Either that or they need to hope that in the next few hours John Calipari somehow becomes Kansas' head coach, and then returns to coach Memphis before the tip. Nothing fires up Kansas like defecting coaches.Enter Your Kansas-Memphis Prediction Here

Later tonight the Final Four will began as North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA and Memphis take the court.

I’m not trying to rub salt in the wounds of the Memphis faithful, or be overtly nasty — I was kind of pulling for them just so Tennessee could say they beat the National Champion three years in a row. Be that as it may, the Memphis Tigers lost to Kansas in convincing Memphis style — a/k/a by being completely unable to hit free-throws down the stretch.
