| The game has evolved so much, that there is so much talent coming out of the high schools across the nation. The Tennessees, Connecticuts, Purdues, Texas's, Stanfords cannot sign them all. Alot of these players now want to go to Universities where they can make an impact instead of sitting the bench behind other AAU stars. It is only going to be more of the same in the future and I love it. Bring on the parity. Two of my Final Four picks have already been upset, but I don't mind, cause the more the merrier. Who would have picked Baylor winning the national championship over Mich St last year? No one, that's who. There will be new names that we have on our lips by the end of the year that we don't know of now, kinda like Sophia Young last year.

I like Matty had TT going far this year. Now with 2 upset losses and an expected upcoming loss against Stanford, they will be lucky to stay in the top 25.
On a much happier note, My Golden Gophers seem to have adjusted well to playing high quality TEAM ball after the loss of their AAs (Whalen/McCarville). As was posted earlier by a Minny fan, "The rumors of our demise has been greatly over exaggerated.
