I would like VCU to make it into the final. I am pulling for UConn in the other semi as I don't like KY.

UConn's primary weakness is their lack of quality size. Enter, Josh Harrelson, arguably the MVP of the tourney so far. His size on both ends of the floor will pose problems. Knight is playing like a guy with a chip on his shoulder; seems the media talks about every other guard in the tourney except him. I like Kentucky.

Butler-VCU is actually a tougher call. Loved what I saw of Skeen this weekend, and I don't think Butler has a matchup for him. But Mack, Howard and the rest are a fantastic team who don't get rattled. I'll take experience and the week to prep for VCU's pressure.

Kentucky sends Butler to it's second straight title game defeat.

The way this year has gone, be sure to bet the opposite way.

March Madness refers to the crazy 1st round, Round of 32, Sweet 16 rather than the Final Four and national title game.

Yea, Final Four isn't as mad as it is important.

This Matt Painter to Missouri things grown some real legs. He's meeting with them today. I'm terrified. Not necessarily strictly just of losing Painter, more what it says about Purdue as a program that a school like MISSOURI can poach our coaches.

I have UCONN winning it all in my bracket.

[DeuceWallaces]

I'm starting to get hype. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting belligerent this weekend.

You realize this is the Final Four thread?

Not trying to be a douche or anything, just throwing that out there

[DeronMillsap]

PTI just mentioned that today is the 35th anniversary of the Hoosiers undefeated season.

[JellyBean]

I got my boys, UConn winning the whole thing over VCU.

UConn: 86

VCU: 74
