NCAA Tournament

This is the first of what will start as a weekly and eventually daily Field of 65. The Bracketology field is based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." Arrows indicate a team that moved up or down based on last night's performance. (Just because a team won or lost doesn't necessarily mean they'll move substantially.)

 

INDIANAPOLIS - The official countdown to the first NCAA Men's Final Four held in Lucas Oil Stadium, and the sixth NCAA Men's Final Four in Indianapolis' history, commenced with the unveiling of the 2010 logo on Wednesday. The national semifinals will be played Saturday, April 3, 2010, with the national champion being crowned on April 5.

 

Picture of the Day

 

 

One day after the National Title Game, I took an early stab at projecting the 2009 NCAA Tournament. Now that pro prospects have officially decided their NBA Draft fate, and with our 2008-09 Preview starting in a couple weeks, its a good time to once again take a look at next year's Dance.

 

 

After a National Championship game for the ages, and a Final Four utterly dominated by Kansas & Memphis, it is no shock that CHN’s All-Final Four team is all Jayhawks and Tigers.

We're only one day beyond the 2008 National Championship Game.. but its never too early to start thinking about next year's Tournament. Here's an early projection of the 2009 NCAA Tournament field:

Top images from the 2008 NCAA Championship Game! I apologize to Memphis fans for the pics below of getting dunked on.. but I'm waiting until our photo partner, Icon Sports Media, puts up more shots. Check by in the morning for more!

Well, it's all over and the Kansas Jayhawks are the national champions, defeating Memphis 75-68 in overtime. And the miraculous end to regulation couldn't have been more fitting, coming twenty years after "Danny and the Miracles" won KU's last national crown.

Mario Chalmers, named MOP of the Tournament, nailed a game-tying three pointer with 2.1 seconds remaining. The shot had the effect of a sharp right cross on the Tigers, who even though they staggered around to stay alive in the extra session had the wind knocked out of them by that shot.
