NCAA Tournament: Final Four and other musings

Well we have come to this point the Final Four, and no matter what anyone predicted, I'm sure few have picked the combination of George Mason, Florida, LSU and UCLA. It will be fun to see some new players emerge such as Glen Davis of LSU and Tony Skinn of George Mason instead of the usual tiresome pieces about Rudy Gay, Adam Morrison and J.J. Redick.

Last Night: 1-1
YTD:5-7

Based on play, these are how I rank the final 4 teams.

1. LSU
2. Florida
3. UCLA
4. George Mason

The tournament is still wide open however and you can no longer count out George Mason as they have beaten 3 former National Champions (Michigan St, UNC and UConn). I believe LSU has such a big advantage though because of their front court, Davis, Mitchell and Thomas are so talented but even more surprising is that they are passionate. (Unlike UConn's stars who walk through games)
