Virginia looks more like a traditional Duke team than Duke-more seasoned and experienced too

I was shocked that he went to UVA in the first place, he was doing amazing things at WSU considering that program is a grave yard, I honestly thought his first step up would be even bigger than UVA. But to his credit, he's taken them all the way to the top.

Florida looks really tough. They deserve the overall #1 seed.

Melvin Johnson was out for VCU today and is going to have a MRI tomorrow. If he is out that is doesn't help VCU.
