Derrick Rose had a friend take the SAT for him. As a result, Memphis vacated all of the 38 wins from the 2007-2008 season. So why should we celebrate him like they want us to in that Powerade commercial?

Re: The Final 8 teams

It's hard to argue based on resume but I felt Villanova was overrated all year - and was proven correct. They should have been a 2 and we should be a 1. The game today between Wisconsin and Arizona should be a Final Four game. Also, Michigan State may be the most under seeded team in the tournament.
