The anticipation is killing me. I also feel some guilt for not making trip to SLC, but my real job just made that impossible. At least I can wear purple and yell, unlike on press row.

If you missed it, here's my game preview. You can guess who I picked:
The skinny: Northwestern vs. Vanderbilt

So here we go, guys. In a few minutes they will tip off the game we've been waiting for our whole lives...

You can see Vandy's strategy -- get a big man to switch on a screen to a little guy and let him drive to the basket.

I'd like to see NU go inside to Pardon more, too. He's got an advantage on Kornet in the post. Get him in foul trouble.

Pardon can't guard that one on one. He'll need help behind him.

Well, the nerves question has been answered. NU looks sharp on both ends.

What was Skelly thinking there? A breakdown on D left him alone under the basket, and yet he bailed out.

- D looks good
- Can't believe they are doubling Pardon
- Brown scares the hell out of me, but I'll take my chances with him driving to the hoop

BMac is 4-for-4 for 10 points. The rest of the team is 3-for-11 for 7 points.

A one-man O by NU, so far. Need to get more people involved. Surprising Lindsey and Law aren't producing more, so far

If they're going to double Pardon so quickly, then he needs to find the open guy at the perimeter. We can take advantage of that situation.

I don't know what's going to happen the rest of the way, but this has been a blast to watch so far.
