Sporting no Cinderella but instead four legit hoops powerhouses, this year's Final Four figures to be one of the best in ages and has certainly captured the attention of the assembled media. The main websites have more stories than Mike Vick in an airport. In the spirit of lazy blogging, here's a collection of today's best stuff:
The Sports Guy breaks down this year's tournament including this eye-popping note:
This year's quartet features a future No. 1 pick and franchise center (Oden), six future lottery picks (Oden, Conley, Noah, Horford, Brewer, Green and Hibbert), two more potential first rounders (Afflalo and Collison),For good measure, Simmons correctly asserts that Conley is one of the 10 best players in college today.
Stewart Mandel of SI chimes in with a great piece on the implications of a Florida - OSU rematch considering the recent history between the programs.
If you want to scout the Hoyas before the official 11W preview appears on Friday, cbs.sportline presents The Edge.
On the lighter side of the news, Matt Turdwiggler made the satirical site The Phat Phree's "Sweet 16 Annoying White Guy Team". Speaking of Da Turd, do 11W readers think Matt's earned his real last name back considering his key contributions (5 pts, 3 reb) during the Tennessee comeback?

Have you seen this? The Div. II championship highlights. It is a must see!
here's the link
definitely a crazy finish...even crazier, that losing team had won 57 in a row and was defending natl champ...Winona Judd State or something like that..
Man, I gotta say.. the 'Wiggler has earned his real name back. We can even stop calling Lighty "Heavy".
I think we need to see how Turd does this weekend against the bigger G'town thugs. I have a feeling we are going to need him more this weekend than we did against Tenn. He still does not get his name back yet...
Cheerios in the basketball bowl of Wheaties.........classic.
