KenPom projects Florida to win 66-65.

Kentucky - FLA 0-3, UL 0-1
Syracuse - FLA 0-1, UL 0-2
Rutgers - FLA 0-1, UL 1-0

Pitino vs Donovan:
Rick Pitino is 6-0 in his career against Billy Donovan. He is 2-0 lifetime against Florida while at Louisville.

Florida Notes:
Florida is making its 4th Elite Eight appearance in 7 years, their second straight Elite Eight appearance. It will be the 5th of Billy Donovan's career and 6th overall for Florida's program.

Louisville Notes:
Louisville is making their 12th all-time Elite Eight appearance and their 4th Elite Eight in 8 seasons. It will also be Rick Pitino's 4th overall with Louisville and 10th overall Elite Eight.

Thoughts?

Both teams are playing their best basketball of the year right now. I think it comes down to who scores more points than the other team.

But I really think Florida wins comfortably....

You're an idiot, it comes down to which team allows less points than the other team, duh.

Florida is peaking at the right time, though Louisville made Michigan State play their worst game of the year (UNC game, notwithstanding).

Should be a good game, and I have a feeling that Donovan's Gators sneak by the Cardinals to make to the Final Four.

Donovan is something like 16-2 in his last 4 years of the tourney.

Pitino has an ok resume as well.

Fabulous Elite coaching/team matchups. Pitino vs. Donovan and Roy vs. Kansas. Then you should have two pretty entertaining games between four really good teams in UK vs. Baylor (could be another track meet) and Ohio State vs. Syracuse.

Good weekend ahead of us.
