Does the Slipper Fit the Runnin' Rebels?

Is UNLV the Cinderella Team this year? What about Butler? After tonight there are only a few teams left to try on the glass slipper.

UNC(1) v. USC(5): Reyshawn Terry, the lone starting senior for the Tar Heels, is doubtful for this game. How important is he? It depends on who can step-up. Danny Greene is the most likely Heel to see lots of action, and he can be explosive. "Can be" is kind of the mantra for Carolina this year. Lots of talent, but, despite their number-one seed, flaky. Look for Hansbrough to take over, though, and Ty "Hummer" Lawson to turn up the volume as the Trojans fall.

Florida(1) v. Butler(5): is Donovan going to be the next coach at Kentucky? No matter, he is taking a "Roy Williams"-approach to answering questions about his possible limited time as a Gator and just "concentrating on winning the national championship." While that may be out of reach, Florida beats up on Baylor to advance.

Oregon(3) v. UNLV(7): the Runnin' Rebels hold out the only chance to be a Cinderella. If UNLV can subdue Aaron Brooks, then they will win. Sound simple? Not. The Rebels have to limit Brooks ability to score and/or dish out the rock. We don't think they can do it, as the Ducks advance.

Georgetown(2) v. Vandy(6): bye-bye Commodores. Hoyas win.

Tubby going to Minnesota is a great move for him. He deserves the respect that the UK fans never gave him. Look for Ricky P. to seriously consider coming back to Kentucky.
