A diary of madness - chapter ten

- BYU ran out of gas and looked like a tired team in the overtime against Florida. Jimmer Fredette went 0-fer in the extra period. The result? Florida continued their expected march to the Elite Eight.

- Connecticut has not lost a game this year on a neutral court site.

- And, speaking of the Huskies, everyone was anticipating a fun regional final of Duke-UConn. It isn't going to happen.

- Amazing how everyone seems to shoot poorly against Butler.

- How about the coaching job of Sean Miller this year? Arizona was a tough win for Kansas, earlier in the season, at Allen Fieldhouse. They have progressed significantly since then.

(CORRECTION: Kansas beat Arizona on November 27, 2010, in Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV.)

- How much money is Derrick Williams making for himself with his tournament performance? Williams is a projected lottery pick in the NBA Draft.

- Fredette is a tremendous offensive player but settled for far too many long-range jumpers tonight.

- Seriously, CBS, why in the world do you employ Leslie Visser as a sideline reporter?

- The three-man crew of Gus Johnson, Reggie Miller and Len Elmore got in Gus' way.

- In 1997, Arizona was a five seed. They went on to win the national championship.

- Every year Wisconsin seems to make the tournament as a four seed or a five seed. And, every year, we are treated to a five point half like they're putting up in this second half against Butler.

- Another one seed goes down. We're going to have a five (Arizona) against a three (UConn) and a two (Florida) against an eight (Butler) on Saturday in the West and Southeast finals.

  1. Sorry Duke, but Derrick Williams is a beast! Who know's what he'll do in the NBA, but he looks like a man among boys in college. He should stay in school for at least another year to develop his already good offensive game even more, because he would be and slow small forward and a undersized power forward. He could be a better Shawn Marion. That being said, I think he can live up to Arizona's tradition of pretty good NBA players.
