#1 Kansas moves on to the Final Four after handily trouncing #10 Miami in the second half of the game. Bigger and stronger #8 N. Carolina ended the bracket busting #15 St. Peter’s run, a great team with a lot of spunk. I hope we’ll see them again next year.

The CBS game analysts are looking spiffy today. Greg Gumbel has definitely improved. He is wearing a almost dark blue with subtle white pattern suit with a white shirt, a white on tan striped tie (nice contrast) with a dark brown pocket square. Clark Kellogg again sports hi blue on tan plaid suit, adding the matching vest with a pale blue shirt, white on tan striped tie. Kenny Smith has gone with a white speckled on medium blue sports jacket and black slacks, blue and white striped shirt with solid white collar, a black tie and white pocket square. Charles Barkley bragged in the pre-game show that his super power was being able to get away with wearing anything on TV.. Tonight, he sports a classic, very dark charcoal grey suit, white shirt and a satin tie that matches the color of the suit.
