| It took long enough. Week after week, Illinois was looking up at North Carolina, and all it took was one final win in the Big
Ten tournament to clinch the #1 spot for the regular season. Florida's big run through the SEC tournament lands them at #4 in the final
poll. Louisville's survival against Memphis on Darius Washington's missed free throws gives them #3. And Duke rode the ACC crown to #4.
As for the rest, well at least this year, all of the Top 25 MRI teams made the NCAA tournament. We have a great tournament ahead of us.
Look for a final MRI posted at the beginning of April. Until then check out
Sitting Courtside. Don't be afraid to write in and let me know how you feel. --> |
