springy weather and end of march cant believe tomorrow is april already. final four continues saturday and ends monday. where has march gone. baseball preseason started, as well as march madness started. then there was the confused weather. march started out like a lamb and it looks like its out like a lamb as well. it started out nice, then winter paid a visit, then spring returned. and its supposed to go to 11c. it was 9c today. the snow is almost gone. yay.

the final four set the final four is now set. illinois and louisville will play one semi final (as mentioned yesterday), while north carolina will play michigan state. north carolina beat wisconsin 88-82 while michigan state beat kentucky 94-88 in overtime. i missed both games today. curses i had to work today. anyways the semi final games are saturday.
2 "final four" teams in illinois and louisville face each other in one of two games next saturday in st.louis. illinois came back from 15 points down to beat arizona in overtime 90-89. louisville made their way into the final four by beating west virginia 93-85 in overtime. so its louisville vs illinois (i think i said that already). tomorrow its north carolina vs wisconsin & michigan st. vs kentucky in the other two regional finals. the winners face each other next saturday in st.louis. the championship game is april 4 in st.louis.
