Men's Final Four Salute -
posted by: Josh

On Thursday, April 3, the Final Four festivities officially kicked off in San Antonio with the Men's Final Four Salute. Each of the four teams was introduced by CBS analyst Jim Nantz, who went on to interview Ben Howland, Bill Self, John Calipari and Roy Williams during the program. At the end of the show, the attendees received a sneak peak at the first 2:30 of this year's "One Shining Moment." I promise nobody will be disappointed on Monday night.

Here is a short photo blog from Thursday night:

Maybe this young man will be the next Michael Jordan but if they do not make the proper plan up front they won't make it to the end game.
