    Mich St to the final four was a bold pick! Are you a fan of the Spartans by chance?

    I can't wait for the Final Four. Four heavyweight programs with 4 Hall of Fame coaches... TV viewership will shatter previous records for a college game. Especially if Duke and UK meet up for the championship.

    Nope, I just believe in Izzo's record in the tournament. I also felt like they were clearly in the weakest bracket.

    That's exactly why i put them in the final four too. Izzo is sick in the tourney.

    I'm not sure why I am nervous for tomorrow. Its only basketball. But I am real excited about it. Should be fun.

    My mom admitted this week that my Dad teared up when I called to tell him I bought him Final 4 tickets for us for his birthday. I drove up to KY today and we head to Indy in the morning. I can't put into words how excited I am. Will be his first final four in his life and he has been around for a LOT of UK basketball...

    Best time of the year!! Can't go wrong with any of the possible championship matchups.

    Ha honestly it has been such a special year for UK hoops, I won't be furious if they lose (I realize I don't speak for most of UK fans). I hope they win, but will be happy to be there with my pops making memories for a long weekend of good basketball a few months before I move as far across the continent as possible.

    I'll have fun either way, it will just be even more fun when they lay the smack down on the Badgers. :moose::poke:

    That said, if it came down to a loss, I'd much rather lose to the Badgers on Saturday than to Duke on Monday... Not sure I could stomach that one for a while.

    I think UK would be smart to go down low to Towns early and often. This will put a lot of defensive pressure on some of WI's key players and could produce some foul trouble (even though they don't normally foul much).

    I would agree. I think Kentucky will score regardless and the game will come down to how well Wisconsin can spread the floor and make baskets.

    I think Kentucky will be able to stop Kaminsky and Dekker for the most part. And Hayes will need to make some clutch shots tonight for them to have a chance.

    UK is probably the best team. But does anyone think they would have gone undefeated this long if they had played in a conference with other good teams?

    I think this WI, UK game is shaping up to be a barn burner! Hard to believe WI is playing as well as they are against the money college.

    Are you saying UK pays their players?
