Michigan State vs North Carolina, 9:21 PM EST, 6:21 PST
Well, we've come to (for all practical purposes) the end of the 2008-09 college sports season. There are still many college sports going on, but for most of us, four and a half months of arduous offseason await us. So we might as well enjoy this last breath of the hustle, desire, and possible schadenfreude of youth before we close it off until August.
Or you can watch baseball. Whatever.
Also, if Michigan State wins, Valiant Carpetbaggers takes home the CGB bracket. If UNC wins, our clubhouse leader I'm the best bracket maker takes it home. It's time for One Shining Moment.

I’ll take the North Carolina Tar Heels over the Michigan State Spartans, 83-72. I won’t be watching it, however, due to the Athletics game tonight.

Michigan State is probably the best possible matchup for North Carolina. For reasons why, see the ever prescient Coaching Better Ball.

I'm glad I didn't cancel any plans to watch this
This sure has been a sub par NCAA tourney. Usually when they lack upsets you at least get lots of great matchups later in the tourney. How many bludgeonings have we seen lately?

This is like the Florida massacres of two years ago
That team just stacked up and destroyed everyone they played. No one’s been close to them since Lawson came back.

Figures the only good championship game in recent history (Kansas and Memphis)
and I don’t get to watch it. I did see a few minutes of OT in a bar, but that only made it worse.

I can't even believe I'm saying this
But I’m ready for The Masters.

I hope you're ready for 5 months of A's vs. Giants on CGB

NHL playoffs next week, know hope.
I’m looking forward to the Masters as well, it should be great in HD.

I’m just praying I get a LeBron-Wade 7 game series, somehow. Probably not happening though.

Well of all the major programs, UNC is the one I kinda like
Just because I’m a big fan of Dean Smith. So I don’t mind them winning this.

Looks like hope wins again
President’s 2 for 2 (picked the Steelers, picked North Carolina). I’ll have to keep that in mind when we’re in a worldwide depression in a year.

I’ll be impressed when he picks an upset

Sweet, I correctly predicted that Michigan State would score 72 points.
