Round One: Lelandjr vs. accnodefense

One of the best teams in school history, excellent team chemistry, talent and depth... Stanford finished the year with a trip to the Final Four, league and national honors… broke or tied 18 school, Maples and NCAA records.

Nothing epitomizes that 1998 team more than their riveting comeback in the Midwest Regional against Rhode Island. Arthur Lee carried Stanford to its first Final Four in five decades (the first since winning it all 1942!). Lee scored 13 of his 26 points in the final 2:04 and made a steal that gave the Cardinal the lead for good. Pure Cardinal comeback!

Yea, I'm wondering why people would sign-up to participate, get chosen, then not bother participating.

Good essay lelandjr.  I'm in Oregon and follow the Pac-10 pretty close.  Stanford has a solid squad, the Lopez's make a nice front, but they can't seem to figure out how to beat them Bruins.  Fortunately they won't have to face them till the Final 4, so maybe they'll figure out a way to beat them between now and then.

I was happy to be chosen as Portland State's spokesman and so far my opponent hasn't done an essay either.  This is PSU's first trip to the ncaa tournament, so it's a pretty jubilant time in Portland.

Good luck to ya.  I gave you my vote.
