    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    Arizona Champs

    Just to close this out, Arizona as the #8 seed defeated the top seeded Crimson Tide in dramatic fashion. It came down to the 18th hole of the final match where the Alabama player needed to win the hole to tie the match and send it to extra holes. She missed her eagle putt after sending a long fairway wood to within 20 feet of the hole, but made the birdie to capture the hole.

    The same two players went back to the 18th tee, a par 5. Both were on in three and had short birdie putts. The Tide player short armed her short birdie putt while the Arizona player sunk hers. Too bad Duke wasn't still playing but it was still pretty exciting.

    The match play format makes for great TV. But it does take it toll.

    It seems funny to have almost of the tournaments all year stroke play then switch to match play to determine the NC. Early round losses probably leave a bad taste in the mouths of the losers - this year I would say Duke and UCLA. Lots of pressure on the players in the pivotal matches. Next year they play in Arkansas (I think) then 3 years in Arizona. It will probably be in the 90's or 100's in AZ and the teams in the final 8 who win in the quarters will have to play 36 holes one day.

    I love it that its on TV and the format makes it very exciting.

    As far as I can tell, schedule for the men's and women's championships is heavily influenced by TV. Monday thru Wednesday are the days when the golf Channel is NOT covering a live professional tournament. Hence, the fourth round and individual champion on Monday and match play crowded into Tuesday and Wednesday, in order to free up the Golf Channel for Thursday PGA action.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
