I'm actually as excited for this game against UNI, as I was for last year's final four game against UConn. After the way this season has gone, going to the Elite 8 and having a shot to play for the FF would be incredible.
I think SM/Baylor will be a good game, and I think OSU will blow out UT. I'm disappointed that I won't really be able to watch the Purdue/Duke game.
Lovin' it. :DQuote:

Gus Johnson is one of the major reasons I love this time of year. That Xavier-KSU game he called was off the chain, and only Gus could've called it the way it deserved to be called.
K-State-Butler about to start
Butler gets their first final four berth.
Uh, memo to big name schools: stop playing into Butler's zone defense.
I'm taking Butler all the way right now, easily the hottest team in the country.
It doesn't help when KS refused to give the ball to their hottest player Kelly. Butler is fun to watch though.Quote:

I honestly think Butler steals the other teams guards basketball IQ a la Space Jam style before the game.Quote:

Next round, when Butler obviously plays Tennessee and not Michigan State ( :p ) it's going to be interesting to see if that happens to yet another teams guards.
And Butler hits big shots when they have to. Clutchiest team still left in the tourney.
WVU is their toughest opponent left.Quote:

Injured Butler means Baylor is the best team they have left in their path
Every indication is that the media is overblowing this injury. I think Butler is fine.Quote:
Butler, the team’s leading scorer, said he shot well in practice and the injury won’t affect his play
I'll believe it when I see it. It's not like he'd say that he's looking forward to struggling in the biggest game of his young lifeQuote:

Kentucky has the most underrated defense in the tourney.
Similar injury saw New Mexico's Hobson struggle, hence my prediction for Butler
