    This was the match-up I was actually hoping for him I saw these two at different ends of the draw. The watching the battle of the guards with Paul, Gray, Downey v Stoudamire, Shakur along with the frontcourt battle of Levy, Williams v Adams and Fyre should be fun. I expect Wake to pull It out though. I think theat Zona needed to pull out last nights game just to prove a point to themselves that they can become a final four contender after getting embarassed against Virginia early on.

    Arizona just needs to improve their shot selection. In the first half against Michigan yesterday, they only shot 24% from the field. I'm not completely sold on Wake Forest either. They looked pretty shakey at times against Providence. I'm predicting a win by Arizona, and a win by Michigan over Providence in the 3rd place game.

    Arizona leads at halftime 37-29.

    Salim Stoudmire has 13 points and Chris Paul has only 2 points and 1 assist...

    Should be a good game!

    It was a good game to watch but, I thought Arizona was going to win. I also wasn't hppen by the last attempt by Arizona. Even with 1+ seconds left I think a three pointer should have atlest been attempted.

    Paul struggled last night, he had so many shots rim out when he got in the lane. Was crazy. It seems everytime Justin Gray gets hit on the head he plays out of his mind the rest of the game, memo to the rest of the nation..don't knock Gray any way possible. He came up huge in the 2nd half.

    I also thought Strickland did a great job defensively and brought a real spark to the game. Was a great game to watch with two very talented teams, just the kind of final I was expected. Shakur really did mess up that final play though, he did all the hard work getting to the rim but his shot ended up being all air, he had a poor game. Stoudmaire had the hot hand and he really should of had the last offense.
