Haven't followed sports in a long time, but the rise of the UCLA Bruins has caught my attention. I've been starting to follow the NCAA tournament, and watching a bunch of games.
Here are my thoughts for the 4 semifinals:
Oakland: If Memphis is as good as they say, the Tigers should handle Bradley without trading the lead.
Not sure what to say about UCLA vs. Gonzaga. I'm rooting for the Bruins, but the Zags may prevail.
Atlanta: no fave or opinion
Washington, DC: I think the Huskies will win. :-)
Meanwhile, I'm rooting for George Mason. I think the team is a showcase for local (Baltimore/Washington) overlooked talent, and I'm all for boosting the locals. Wichita State may want to avenge their previous loss to GMU, but the Shockers seemed to be missing something when I saw their last game.
Minneapolis: I pick Georgetown and BC to go head to head in a Big East battle.
