The final four is set, and Cinderella is staying home for the first time in forever. I for one, could not be happier. Upsets in the ncaa tournament are only fun in the first round. The joy of watching David knock off Goliath will temporarily blind you to the fact that you're headed for a "who cares" game the next round. No disrespect to Norfolk State or South Florida, but nobody wants to see you play Kentucky in the final four. We haven't watched you play all year, and you probably busted our bracket. We don't want to see Butler...they played in two of the worst title games in recent history. We want to see the power conference teams, we want to see the star players. We get that this year...and I'm pumped.
Kentucky, Ohio State, Louisville, and Kansas. Now that's a final four. Great teams, great players, great coaches, and great story lines.....
Kentucky and Louisville battle for not only a birth in the title game, but also state supremacy. Basketball is king in the state of Kentucky, and the Wildcats and Cardinals are rolling. Rick Petino and John Calipari are... lets just say...not exactly busom buddies, and both teams are rich in tradition. Kentucky is by far the most talented team, so can John Calipari finally get that long awaited championship? Can Petino's Cardinals continue to lock teams down in the second half?
Ohio State and Kansas have played well all year, and especially well in the tournament. Both teams won at least a share of their conference title, and deserve to be here. Kansas beat Ohio State earlier this season, but the Jayhawks have not seen Jared Sullinger. The Buckeyes All American missed the Kansas game with back spasms, but has dominated so far in the tournament. He will definitely be the x-factor....one way or another. This is a final four that die hard fans of all teams can appreciate. Four worthy candidates with names that you know. The way March Madness intended it. follow @plcolter
