Sweet Sixteen Bracket

While I did not post my bracket earlier, I do have a bracket and feel good about my chances at this point. My final four:

Florida, seems to be coming on and would be surprising if they don't make it this far as defending champ.

Kansas, really on a roll with NBA talent playing for Bill Self, the strongest team in the tourney.

Georgetown, seems like the strongest 2 seeded team, and we all know that it is never all one seeded teams to make it.

Texas A&M has been a solid team all year, and as a 3 seed, this makes sense to me. I'm not sure that Ohio State will get knocked out, but Tennessess is fairly impressive and might stop the Buckeyes.

Final Game: Kansas versus Georgetown

National Champ: Kansas, and Bill Self can keep his job at Kansas for several more years.

I picked Kansas to do well, but Bill Self is such an egomaniac. All he does is think of himself. Hey Bill, it is not all about you!

Illinois won't discipline AD for courtside outbursts

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — The University of Illinois will not discipline Athletic Director Ron Guenther for yelling at men's basketball coach Bruce Weber and Illini players during the team's NCAA tournament loss last Friday, officials said.
Guenther yelled substitution advice to Weber — who was just a few feet away — and at one point called Illini forward Warren Carter an idiot, according to a columnist for CBS Sportsline.com, who sat two seats from Guenther on press row during Illinois' 54-52 loss to Virginia Tech.

The columnist wrote that Guenther also pounded the table throughout the game in Columbus, Ohio, during which the Illini blew a 13-point second-half lead.

Richard Herman, chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, said Wednesday that Guenther — in his 15th year as AD at Illinois — would not be disciplined. He said Guenther had apologized to Weber and Carter.

The outbursts happened because Guenther is a fan, Herman said.

"If you've been with director Guenther at a game, you know his intensity when he watches a game," Herman said.

But he added, "He's always the athletic director and the remark was inappropriate."

Herman said he'd heard from only two Illinois graduates demanding action against Guenther.

Guenther did not return calls from The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Legal Pub,

Thanks for the post on Ron Guenther. I was curious on the accuracy of the Sportsline columnist, since he seems so biased against Illinois, but this seems to confirm some of the report was true!

Scot,

Why do you think Self is an egomaniac? He thinks of himself, maybe because he is Self??
