Teams Set For Kansas City
The final four in the 2008 O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic are in Kansas City getting ready for tomorrow night's semifinals.
In the first game, you have Syracuse against #19 Florida. Talk about a contrast in the coaches. Jim Boeheim is in his 33rd season at his alma mater and is closing in on 800 career wins. Billy Donovan is in his 13th year at Florida and already has two national titles on his resume. Guard play will be a big part of this matchup. Jonny Flynn and Eric Devendorf for the Orange against Nick Calathes for Florida... and that is just the first game.
The defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks, ranked 23rd, hit the court in the second game against Washington. The Jayhawks have played well with Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich being the keys early in the season. Washington has good guard play, but everyone first talks about Jon Brockman, who was one of two players in the Pac 10 last year to average a double-double.
Games are on ESPN 2 on Monday night beginning at 7:30 ET.
The 3rd Place Game is on ESPNU on Tuesday night at 7:45 ET, followed by the Championship Game at around 10:15 ET on ESPN 2.
