"Danke Shein ... my darling Danke Shein..."

Last Friday, we asked readers for ideas as to what CBS lead play-by-play guy Jim Nantz might say when a new champion is crowned. We got a few responses, but the tops in the field was easily our new friend James Davis, who also told us in the e-mail, "My friends and I bet on this Nantz stuff every year." If MSU wins, James says Nantz goes with "Izzo there no place like home?" If UNC cuts the nets, we're looking at "Ty on another title for the Tar Heels!" Either of these could be stunningly accurate. Hit us up if you've got additional thoughts.
