Bill Leslie's Carolina Conversations

"People are always asking me where to take vacation. What’s a cool place? What’s the most scenic drive?" WRAL News Anchor Bill Leslie attempts to answer those questions and others in his Carolina Conversations blog.

Final Four Contest

What an exciting weekend of college basketball! Davidson College’s comeback victory over Georgetown was absolutely thrilling. UNC’s romp over Arkansas gave new hope to Tar Heel fans for another national championship.

It’s hard to get a lot of work done around the house when the basketball is this good. So why fight it? Just delight in the excitement.

I’ve got a great gift for the Carolina Conversations blogger who can most closely predict the outcome of the final four.

Here are the questions:

Which team will win the men’s NCAA basketball tournament in San Antonio and what will the score be? Be sure to name the second place team and the other two Final Four squads.

The person getting closest to the correct answers will win a copy of Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains by Georgann Eubanks. The deadline for entering is Wednesday, March 26 at 7:00P.M.
