UConn v. Florida- this should be an epic rematch. One of Florida’s only losses came at the hands of the Huskies, so it’ll be a payback game for Florida. UConn has been on a roll lately, and this will be a great matchup. 

Wisconsin v. Kentucky- Wisconsin has been on fire, and has been riding Kaminsky’s beast mode to the Final Four. Kentucky is finally coming together as a team and has looked dangerous, and will be even more dangerous with WCS back. 

I like a Badgers v. Florida final game- again, a potential payback game for Florida. However, I’m totally biased as a Badgers alum, lol. I’d love to see my Badgers make it all the way, but this is a wide open Final Four where any one of these teams could win it all. Who’ve you got?

It’ll probably be Florida vs. Kentucky. I’d much rather see U-Conn vs. UK though. Both teams have been in classics like no other and I’d love to see the UK freshmen vs. Shabazz.

 Don’t sleep on the two underdogs, my huskies as well as Kentucky. Regardless this is one of the best NCAA  tournaments in a long time. So many close, grind it out games. Every team always seems to make a run as soon as it looks like they are about to get blown out. Can’t wait for next Ssaturday. Randle looks like a top 4/5 lock.

-GO HUSKIES!

I can see anyone winning it all except I doubt uconn will. They just don’t have the bigs the other 3 do.

 If Shabazz keeps making contested off the dribble 3 point shots (reminiscent of last year’s Trey Burke), they might not need bigs to win.  He’s single handedly stole a couple games in the tourney so far by doing so.

 3/4 teams have won a championship recently, that makes it a somewhat boring Final Four in my opinion. I’ll be rooting for the Badgers.

I understand why you would want a different team to win in the Badgers but I don’t see how it translates to a boring final 4. Kentucky has been great to watch in the tourney as they finally look like the team we all thought they would be from the get go. Even so not one of these guys was on the team that won the title with Davis and MKG.

Shabazz Napier did play 27 minutes in the title game in 2011 but he only had 4 points as a freshmen…that was clearly Kemba’s time. Now that Napier is a senior he has willed UConn to the Final Four just like he watched Kemba do. Giffey played some minutes back then as well but wasn’t a big part of what they did and he is the only other player with final four experience on any of the teams…considering the last time Florida was there was 7 years ago.

I hope UCONN ends up beating WISCI but i fear it will be UK over FLA.

[HaleParticipant]

Tyler Olander?

[Sewok15Participant]

You are technically correct but I omitted him due to the fact he played 3 minutes against MSU.

[HaleParticipant]

Yeah I went back to check later and realized that. I thought he played a bigger role, my bad.

 Probably has more to do with me hating Kentucky than anything else, I do love Shabazz though. I just like to see new teams win it.

Why would UK be over Florida which beat them 3 times this year. I understand Kentucky is hot right now, but it seems like a lot of people are overlooking how good of a coach Billy Donovan is. If you look at Floridas roster on paper there is no way anyone says they are the number 1 team and a final four team. Scottie Wilbikin has been on one this whole tournament. Also Florida did lose to Wisconsin and UCONN. Against Wisconsin they were without Wilbikin, Finney-Smith, Walker, and have went the whole year without Damontre Harris, which would have played minutes off the bench over the walk-on Kurtz. Against UCONN Florida was in control and Wilbikin got hurt at the end and didn’t finish the game. I’m not saying UK can’t beat Florida, but I have a hard time picking anyone over them.

Shabazz is a beast.. he can take over at any time.. would love to see Uconn vs Kentucky.. Bazz May be a top 15 player now. hes reminiscent of Marbury or Billups.. . my brother compares him to Cp3.. I don’t see that

[Lotto StudParticipant]

I see more Monta Ellis than any other player.

Gimme Kentucky/Florida Part IV.

I’ve never seen two college teams play each other 4 times in a season. Has that ever happened before?

Kentucky lost to Florida by 1 in the SEC Title game and has probably been the best team in The Tourney this year. They’ve beaten 3 top 10 teams in The Tourney (#2 Wichita State, #5 Louisville, and #7 Michigan) which no one else has. That’s absolutely insane. They have run the gauntlet furshur.

With the improved play of the Harrison Bros. and the emergence of Lee, I really think Kentucky is going to beat Wisconsin then go on to defeat Florida in The Title.

Can’t believe an 8-seed may win The Tourney for just the 2nd time in history but my eyes aren’t deceiving me; no one is playing better than UK at this moment in time!

I’ve got Kentucky going 1-3 against Florida this year…

…but that 1 is greater than 3 in this case.

[strobox88Participant]

 Michigan was a #2 seed, Wichita State was a #1 seed and Louisville was a #4 seed, but close.

 For some reason I feel the same way UK is riding a wave like nobody else and are playing with crazy confidence.

I too have UK over Florida for all the marbles.
