Were they saving themselves for the tournament? They are playing really well and I think most college bball fans would agree that if they can play the way they have the last three games they will be the favorite to win it all again. They have the experience, the depth, and the talent to destroy any team they face. <BR/><BR/>The best part of brea.ing my hand is that I can only work the slow days at work mon-wed so I get to park in front of my tv and watch as much bball as I can for the next three weekends.<BR/><BR/>Know why the devil rays are the best team in baseball? two words.
