The Big East's big boy, Syracuse, won't be there but Louisville will.
Ohio State beat Syracuse to punch their ticket.
UNC-Kansas and Baylor-Kentucky go at it tomorrow.
Your thoughts please gentlemen (and ladies). And yes, Dawg, you can feel free to post. :)

Baylor will lose to Kentucky. They have played a 10th, 11th and 14th seed with some difficulties in 2 of the 3 games. Only to barely come out on top. Kentucky has played a 16th, 8th and 4th seed 2 of the 3 are higher seeds than Baylor and they are dominating them. Kentucky has been in this position before and they know how to handle it.

The UNC and Kansas game will be a close one. That is only if Robinson from Kansas gets going early on. If Robinson can stay strong through out the game they will come out on top. UNC needs to try to double team him without being in foul trouble. Also, you have to remember that the game is in St. Luis, which favors Kansas.

Winners will be Kentucky and Kansas!

Are you watching the game? Kentucky 42 Baylor 22 at halftime.

BTW the above posting was not mine. My son hijacked me and wrote his predictions. He is currently torn between being a pharmacist and a sports analyst. LOL

The Final Four is set: Louisville vs Kentucky and Kansas vs Ohio State.
Both are rematches from earlier this year - Kentucky beat Louisville by 7 or so in Lexington, and Kansas beat Ohio State by 11 in Lawrence, KS. Ohio State's Jared Sullinger did not play that game due to injury.
Kentucky is an early 8.5 point favorite and the Buckeyes are 2.5 over the Jawhawks.

Good job as a sports analyst and writer.

Final Four - Final Bore. This tournament has been a sleepfest. Let this round of freshman and sophomores get snarfed up by the NBA so the next bunch of teenagers can take their place.

That's very true.
If I was a college coach I'd be looking to coach in the NBA. Recruit, recruit, recruit, and the kid gives you one year.

I doubt if Kansas can beat Kentucky tonight. Kentucky appears to be a vastly superior team to all competition this year, but they did have a fairly uneventful regional and didn't play much of anyone.
But tomorrow night we can all cheer for Baylor's Lady Bears to win it all and be the first team in NCAA Basketball (both mens' and womens') to go 40 - 0!!!

I agree but I still hope Kansas can pull it off.

That is so awesome about Baylor!!!

Kentucky could be ripe for an upset. Kansas played in a tougher regional, beat North Carolina and then that amazing come back against Ohio State, while Kentucky just waltzed through their regional and semi-finals.

I really thought this game would be closer.

Don't give up yet. Ohio State had them trashed in the first half and they came back.

Then again, looking down again.
Nothing to be ashamed of. Just getting to the Final Four is a great accomplishment.

Fell short, but still a helluva year.
Kentucky would have beaten anybody in the championship game. They are a great team this year.
