The college basketball national championship is tonight, and for all of it's upsets, the tournament produced an excellent title game match up between the #4 seed Michigan Wolverines and the #1 overall seed Louisville Cardinals. Both teams have great coaches, great point guards, and athletes up and down the roster. If both teams play to their capabilities, we should be in for a real treat tonight...regardless of who wins.
Unless, of course, you are a fan of one of these teams.
Michigan has not won a national title in 24 years, Louisville even longer than that. For Michigan fans...years of frustration, probation, and playing second fiddle to in state rival Michigan State comes to an end with a Wolverine win. For Louisville fans...years of frustration, probation, and playing second fiddle to in state rival Kentucky comes to an end with a win tonight.\
For the losing fan base...you're natural reaction will more than likely not be..."We'll get'em next year".
Rick Petino was fortunate to return basically the same team from last year's Final Four. Odds are against a three-peat. National Player of the Year Trey Burke literally fell into the Wolverines lap. Trey is going pro after tonight's game, and Tim Hardaway Jr, Michigan's second best player, is rumored to follow Burke. Michigan is no lock to be this good again.
Good luck to both teams tonight....and both fan bases. follow @plcolter
