So the Final 4 is set. It features No. 3 Connecticut, No. 4 Kentucky, No. 8 Butler, and No. 11 VCU. For No. 3 UConn against Kentucky, my pick would be UConn because of their man Kemba Walker. He is one of the best players in the NCAA in my opinion. For VCU and Butler, Butler moves on again to the championship round. My pick for the Champ? Butler redeems themselves after losing to Duke last year.

Butler reaches the Final 4 for the second year in a row, defeating Florida in overtime. Last year, Butler went in the championship game against Duke, and nearly won the game as Gordon Hayward nearly made the half court shot. But now no number 1 seed remains, so Butler may have a chance this year

Kentucky defeats the last No.1 seed, Ohio State, on a game winning shot from Brandon Knight. This was a good game, a lot of back and forth shooting. Now Kentucky moves on to the Elite Eight, against the powerful North Carolina. That will be another good game.

Kyle Busch completes the sweep of Bristol with his win. Bristol seems to be Busch's home track as he has won the last 5 Bristol Races in all three series. His brother Kurt has the points lead, followed by Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman and Paul Menard

Butler stuns Pittsburgh in an amazing finish. With 2.2 seconds left, with Pittsburgh inbounding, a player gets fouled and makes 1 free throw. BUT on the second free throw, he misses, and a Butler player gets the rebound, but HE gets fouled. He makes the free throw to upset Pittsburgh and me because now my braket's COMPLETELY messed up, including my final 4.

After the break, Carl Edward kept his momentum and grabbed the pole for Sunday's race. His Roush teammate Greg Biffle help Jack Roush's team sweep the front row. His team was really good in qualifying as David Ragan qualified 5th, and Matt Kenseth just missed the top 10 with an 11th place start. It will be exciting at Bristol (as usual :))

There are many new free agents projected to be on the market including Tim Duncan, Jamal Crawford, Zach Randolph, Caron Butler, and possibly Derrick Rose, Russel Westbrook, Kevin Love and Brook Lopez. Carmelo Anthony will not be available because he signed a contract with the Knicks almost as soon as he was traded. Many other free agents in 2012 are Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Steve Nash, and Deron Williams could be on the free agent list in 2012

Can you believe Tiki Barber wants to play football again? Its amazing how he left the Giants to do TV reporting and now he wants to come back? He's almost 36, so he may just leave in about 2 years (All assuming he gets signed) I don't see where he'd fit in, maybe to a team like the Bills or any other team that needs running back support
