That was cool... And the Hall of Fame Ceremony on Saturday Night was really cool as well.

Okay my Kellogg friends, it is prediction time... Please add yours in. Here are mine:

I think North Carolina will beat Kansas handily (by 15 or 20 points).

The UCLA/Memphis game should be dynomite. I keep going back and forth every hour. I just have a gut feeling that Memphis will control the tempo and pull it out. Rose is the guy they have not had, who makes all the difference for their style of basketball. I guess the same could be said about Love, but I still say Memphis by 5.

Then in the chipper, I really want Memphis to win, but I just think the Tar Heels will find a way to pull it out in a very high scoring championship game (both teams in the 90 point range).

Then my prediction for "One Shining Moment" is that they will show Stephen Curry at least 3 or 4 times.

My predictions are pretty close to yours Casey:
Memphis over UCLA by 10
NC over Kansas by 10+
But I'm going with memphis for the championship. I don't think hansburough can deal with the length and athleticism of memphis. If he can get them in foul trouble then UNC might win, but I like Memphis. They are as deep as UNC. they are as athletic. and they have much more length. and they are very hungry. I know free throws are a problem, but rose and CDR will be the ones handling late and they can make em. Memphis in a close one is my prediction.

I hope you're right... I saw that Memphis' back-up point guard got suspended for the Final 4 and won't make the trip. Hopefully UCLA & UNC's guards won't wear Rose out with the pressure they will put on him defensively.

I'm sticking to my original story. Memphis over NC. It will be close either way. I think Memphis will be to athletic for UCLA.

my prediction is UNC over UCLA in the final. UNC by 10-15 points. UNC is loaded this year. Memphis is too, but i think Memphis loses if it comes down to having to shoot free throws, they are too inconsistent

Kansas over UNC....don't think any of us saw that one coming. I'm sticking with Memphis to win it all. I still think they are the better team, but anything can happen in one game.

No kidding. I was in complete shock when Kansas was up 40-12 in the first half. WOW... I really hope Memphis wins tonight. I'm tired of hearing about how they can't shoot free throws. It hasn't cost them a game all season long...
