Kentucky vs. Gonzaga championship. Kentucky's perfect season ends with a title.

Can't believe I'm rooting for Arizona.

Go Irish!

Btw where is our resident Wisconsin fan? Shouldn't he be ecstatic?

...if you're targeting me because I've mentioned them a few times...I'm not a Wisky fan...have just happened to watch them a bit this year...and I'm not ecstatic. Impressive team though.

First game should be fun. Notre dame is screwed. You can overcome being 5 inches shorter at most positions..but when the guy that's 6 inches taller than you is also quicker and more athletic, I don't think so. Doesn't matter how good you can shoot if you can't see the basket

It appears the East was the weakest region. I don't see any of those teams making it to the final four if they had to share a region with Arizona, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Gonzaga or Duke.

I think he is referring to the hawk fan that claims to be a Wisconsin fan instead.

I'm not sure anyone can stop Kentucky now, but I'd like to see what Arizona could do. UW could hang around, but if it's a matter of rooting against UK, I'd rather do it with Arizona.

At least UK-ND is contrast in styles, unlike Kentucky's first 3 opponents — 2nd best FG% defense vs. 2nd best FG% offense. It probably won't matter, but at least there's a possibility. Except for Notre Dame's 250th rank in rebounding. Not a good sign.

I seem to be terrible at picking this season, except for getting the UL-MSU Elite 8 correct in a couple of my sheets of integrity.

I'll stick with
1. Kentucky
2. Arizona
4. Louisville
1. Duke

UK over UL

Wisconsin gets away with so much holding on defense

And

I am so sick of every team getting away with moving screens
