*********************** *********************** Just read the New York Times Computer Ranking Poll 1) NC obviously #1, awesome team, Kenny Smith back, should be final 4 2) DePaul finest Depaul team because they play together as a team Tyrone Corbin is awesome, but a team player, they will not gag first round but soon thereafter, oh well 3) Georgetown never liked them, never will 'til Ewing leaves. They play to Ewing too much and any team that effectively collapses on him can beat them ( read St. John's ) 4) Oklahoma Tisdale is a great player, but playing basketball in cornfields doth not make final fourness. 5) Kentucky Sam Bowie is worthless, if he gets re-hurt and they go with Mel Turpin, they will go somewhere, too bad Joe B. ( the B. stands for Bozo ) 6) Houston see notes on Georgetown and double them, they play too much to the Dream, they will lose to anyone who collapses effectively, not as good as last years 7) Illinois the Fighting Illini are tough, recent losses to Purdue and Michigan hurt, but their OT experience will help lots of mediocre players playing great (read Altenburger and Montgomery ) and awesome players up to potential ( read Efram Winters ). Another final 4 pick 8) Purdue Pud is a better word. Their loss to Indiana not included as of the poll so they will drop as they should center Rowinski is big and brauny and worthless. Also their coach is stupid 9) UNLV good record, unknown against nationally competent teams crooked coach Tarkanian would sell his mother for a team 10) Tulsa another good record against suck ass teams, but look for them to be a potential shocker My other final 4 picks: Maryland if Dreisell plays his bad boys without suspending them and Veal plays well Syracuse The Pearl Washington is awesome, Addison adequate and the coach looks like Dennis the Menaces father Happy Hooping Andy Kessler solar!ajk
