A - Atlanta - Home of the 2002 Final Four. Did you know the Georgia Dome is the largest cable-supported domed stadium in the world? Neither did we, until we looked it up.

B - "Boomer Sooner" - The chant of choice for Oklahoma fans, who hope their Sooners can eliminate Arizona tomorrow, just like they have the last two times these teams matched up in the tourney. The fight song was written in 1905 and was adopted from Yale's and North Carolina's songs.

C - Concern - Must be no stranger to Lute Olson and his Wildcats, who have a 4-5 record this season against the 15 other teams remaining. UA has lost to Kansas, UCLA, Connecticut and twice to Oregon .

D - Disappointment -All the fans of the Southeastern Conference - which boasted five teams seeded fifth or higher - have left is one team, Kentucky. The Wildcats, who advanced to the round of sixteen, play No. 1 Maryland.

E - Emeka Okafor - Not only does the Connecticut freshman have one of the better names in the field, he's also possibly the best all-around freshman. Anybody who saw him flirt with a triple-double in UConn's win over Arizona knows. Okafor has drawn shot-blocking comparisons to Hakeem Olajuwon.

F - Fogler -Eddie Fogler, the CBS commentator who drew a circle and the words "fucked me" on a telestrator over the image of James Hayes, father of Georgia's Jarvis and Jonas Hayes. The two brothers both declined to transfer to Fogler's South Carolina team last season. Maybe if they had transferred, it wouldn't be his former team.

G - Golden Flashes - The mascot of Kent State, the Mid-American Conference Cinderella that sent SEC champ Alabama packing last weekend to earn its first-ever Sweet 16 bid in only its third tourney appearance.

H - Homecourt advantage - Essentially what Pittsburgh has enjoyed en route to the Sweet 16. The road gets tougher now that the Panthers have to leave their home state to face Kent State. The same could be said for Illinois, but they only have to travel west to Madison, Wis.

I - Illinois - The only state with two teams still alive. The No. 4 seed Illini, a preseason Top 5 team, is no surprise. The Southern Illinois Salukis on the other hand, who didn't even win the Missouri Valley Conference, certainly are.

J - Junior college - Juco players fill integral roles on many of the 16 teams remaining. Oklahoma's pair of transfer starters, Ebi Ere and Jason Detrick, account for 25.9 ppg and 9.2 rpg combined.

K - The letter K - Stands above the rest of the alphabet, with three teams beginning in K - Kentucky, Kansas and Kent State - still remaining.

L - Lexington, Ky. - There's no better place for college basketball than Rupp Arena, home of the South Regionals. Duke, Indiana, Pitt and Kent State will battle for the chance to claim a championship banner just like the six hanging from the Rupp rafters.

M - Monkey - That is what just got off UCLA head coach Steve Lavin's back. The slick-haired coach - who has been rumored to be fired all season if the Bruins did not go far in the tourney - might have saved his job once again by making it to the Sweet 16. Lavin and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski are the only coaches who have done that five of the last six years.

N - Nets - Each team wants to end its season by cutting one down. This season, the final net will be cut down in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Who will be there? Two more weeks and that question will be answered.

O - Odle - Jarrad Odle is Indiana's senior forward. The farm boy from Converse, Ind., said that if any actor would play him in a movie it would be Seinfeld's Michael Richards. The lanky shooter averages 9.2 points per game, something that would make Cosmo Kramer proud.

P - Press - Almost a forgotten defense in the NCAA but has never been overlooked by Gary Williams at Maryland. The Terps boast one of the best full-court presses in the nation. The 3-1-1 press has given teams nightmares and could propel them into the Final Four.

Q - Quin Snyder - Like Lavin, Snyder and his No. 12 seed Tigers redeemed themselves by advancing to the Sweet 16. The Missouri coach salvaged what started as such a promising season after opening the year No. 2 in the nation.

R - Ryan Walcott - Who is he, you might ask? This UCLA redshirt freshman point guard has been the savior for the Bruins of late, taking some of the pressure off super-freshman Cedric Bozeman. Walcott has drawn comparisons to former UCLA guard Earl Watson.

S - Salukis - The mascot of Southern Illinois. What the hell is a Saluki? The funny thing is that most people who go to the school don't even know. The best explanation is that a Saluki is the oldest purebred dog in the world, with records dating back to 3600 B.C.

T - T.J. Ford - The Texas freshman point guard with the new-school cornrows has brought back a pass-first, shoot-second attitude to college basketball. Ford leads the nation in assists - something no freshman has ever done - dishing out 8.5 a contest. Ford would like to spend his 19th birthday in the Elite Eight.

U - Underage - The Arizona Wildcats have nine players under the age of 21, meaning any post-game celebrations will consist of a lot of sparkling cider. Only five players - Peter Hansen is the oldest player at 22 years old and the only senior - can legally drink alcohol.

V - Vitale - Dick Vitale was one of two ESPN experts to pick Arizona to advance to the Final Four. The other one was college basketball guru Jay Bilas. Vitale called the West bracket the toughest of the four regions. The effusive analyst picked the Wildcats, Duke, Kansas and Maryland in his final four showdown, making it "fantastic, baby."

W - Chris Wilcox - Maryland will hate to see this super sophomore jump to the NBA after the season. He said if he could be a lottery pick, he would forgo his last two seasons. The College Park fans better get their last looks at this high-flying forward, because odds are he will be playing in some NBA arena next season.

X - X-Factor - The two Lukes, Jackson and Ridnour, for the Oregon Ducks. Both Jackson and Ridnour had career games against Wake Forest on Saturday, with Jackson dumping in 29 points and Ridnour scoring 28. If the two Lukes can put up similar performances against Texas they should be Elite Eight-bound.

Y - Ray Young - The junior guard decided to redshirt his senior season at UCLA, meaning more minutes for Bruin guards Dijon Thompson, Andre Patterson, Walcott and Bozeman. Young - who was in the same recruiting class as JaRon Rush, Jerome Moiso, Dan Gadzuric and Matt Barnes - has been the most disappointing one of the group. Young will have next season to see if he can erase that label.

Z- Zags - Oops, too bad Gonzaga didn't get this far. Oh, well. Maybe next year - or maybe not, because Dan Dickau is a senior and will be in the NBA come draft day.
