Name: Josh Boone, New Jersey Nets

School: University of Connecticut, 2003-06

Tournament credentials: Won NCAA title in 2004

My NCAA Moment: Winning the championship, but beating Duke in the semifinals of the Final Four was just special. I've grown up loving either UConn or Carolina, depending on the time. And both of those schools don't like Duke too much. To get a chance to face 'em and to come out on top."

I Think About My NCAA Trip ... : It comes up when you're watching the tournament. I still know a bunch of guys at UCONN, I played with a couple of them. I talk to them, especially Jeff Adrien several times recently. So, things like that bring it up.

At Home to Remind Me: I have the rings, obviously, but I also have part of the banner that was on the scorer's table. We took it, me and Rashad Anderson, and unfortunately, he got the side with our name on it. I got the side with Georgia Tech and Duke on it. And I still have part of the net and a chair as well.

The Best Way to Win an NCAA Pool: Be lucky.

When he hears "George Mason": They beat us. They played a great game that game and they ended up coming up on top. It was kind of a back-and-forth game, towards the end especially. I know we hit a buzzer beater, Denham Brown hit a layup at the buzzer to send it in to overtime. I thought we had it at the end, but we didn't.

Who I'm Watching This Year: UConn, obviously, but Memphis because they're the two seed in the bracket. People have said that they deserve the one seed more than UConn, so hopefully they'll both make it to the Elite Eight and we'll see who deserved the one seed.

My Final Four: I don't think all the one seeds will make it, but with the bracket that they have, I do think UConn can make it to the Final Four.
