Final four thread

[Pobilly]

I like how you keep saying "we"...

I am pulling for a Wildcat. So i fall into the "We" from force of habit. Polish mind

[KevinHall]

I will be hoping for Villanove but UNC will probably win. One of Nova's weaknesses is defensive rebounding. That will be a killer against UNC. I will go with UNC by a score of 82-74.

Kruger was Florida's coach.and led Florida to their first ever Final Four in 1994.

[Pobilly]

Kruger also coached at Illinois if I remember correctly.

[Matt Dillon]

Correct on both counts, Pobilly. He also held the HC position at UNLV, and was an assistance at a couple of smaller schools. He was HC of the Atlanta Hawks and an asst. with the Knicks as well. As an aside, his replacement at Fl. was none other than Billy "The Kid" Donovan.

[Pobilly]

I totally forgot that Billy D replaced Lon. I always liked Lon. Always told it like it was. Did he get in trouble after Florida. Dont know what I thought that. I think I will try to look up info on him later.

Thanks guys for the Lon Kruger info!!!!

A little trivia (don't cheat!)......who was Kruger's big man at UF on that 94 FF team? I couldn't stand him!

I remember the guy, I just can't come up with his name.

I have zero interest in the game tonight. I haven't watched 5 minutes of the tourney since we got eliminated.

Its too late for me. A 9:20 start time is ridiculous. I'll DVR it but will probably never watch it especially if UNC wins it.

I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine, and he said the same thing. It makes no sense, whatsoever, to start the game that late.

Wasn't his name something like Dwayne Schnitz ? I know I'm wrong, but it was 22 years ago.....
