Still trying to speak normally after four days in Greensboro. Maryland had a great run and were rewarded a number 4 seed. Playing Thursday will be tough but that's what you get.

ACC has six strong teams in the dance. Carolina needs to worry about Air Force in Denver, otherwise all will advance beyond first round. Duke needs to worry about Texas, Miss St. and Illinois. Sheldon Williams needs to get his wind back; I think his conditioning played a role in Duke's loss Sunday. Maryland has to worry about Alabama, or Stanford as well as Syracuse. Can Wake beat St Joes? They'll get a chance. I don't think Ga Tech can beat Kentucky.

What a great time of year!
