Tourney estaTerminada

Yes, it's over. Well, for the team at least. My bracket is pretty pitiful, but I will re-iterate what I said previously:
...with the advent of the Lopez twins and growth at the point, both Anthony Goods and Laurence Hill have gone missing. Goods has shown up on occasion, but former All-Pac-10 forward Hill is a shadow of his former self. No doubt his knee injury has taken away much of his ability to create off the dribble and penetrate, but his reduced role in the offense has crushed the confidence his jumper used to possess. When both of these players show up, however, the team is as elite as can be.

and:
My fears are thus for the tournament. Both Lopezes are rendered ineffective by crushing pressure defense and athletic guard play from the high seeds slices and dices the vaunted Stanford defense to ribbons.

Take it how you will, but I am not surprised at the outcome and a little disappointed. No matter, there is always next year...
