Well, I am an avid Wisconsin follower, so that's a major selling point for me. But the rematch potential with almost all of the matchups really intrigues me. That title favorite Florida's only two losses on the year came to teams that they might have to beat in succession this weekend to cut down the nets definitely adds some drama.

If UConn and Kentucky win tonight, however, then it will still be a battle of basketball giants on Monday night, but it'll make things a little less appealing to me as I can barely fathom the thought of watching UK hang another banner. Overall, though, the matchups do intrigue me, yes.

But I like Wisconsin to win this thing (at least until KY pulls off another buzzer-beater).
As v-ball mentioned earlier, a Wisconsin-UConn final would be great. The best big man in the tournament versus the best guard. Both the Huskies and Badgers are playing lights out ball.

Cats. This is the same team that beat them in 2011. Cats get cold in final and UConn wins again.

Florida getting an ass-kicking. I was confident that UConn would win, but never thought they'd cut the Gators down to size.

Florida finishes 36-3, with 2 of the losses coming to Connecticut. Not sure anyone is gonna stop the Huskies on Monday night.

Florida had no heart in the last 2 minutes. Down by only 10 and they flat out gave up.

These announcers are the worst! They spent 90% of this game, and after the game talking about fucking Florida! They LOST! They hardly said much about UConn..the team that WON the friggin game! Never heard the losing team get some much deep throat before! Unreal!

Kentucky needs to come through now. If Wisconsin wins it will be one bad championship game.

What the fuck you talking about, the announcers said UConn was the better team.

Why's that? UConn is playing as well as any team in the country has all year and Wisconsin has the best offense in the entire tournament. I think it'd be rather exciting myself.

Yeah, I'd like a Wisc/Conn final.

If KY wins, and it's another nail-biter, I doubt UConn will beat them in the championship.

You did not listen just a couple of minutes a go, they said how UConn dominated.

Everyone else gave UConn credit. Did not here the game announcers comments.

That's what I said. I asked my wife if she knew who it was and she had no idea either and also agreed it was terrible.

TNT has one local broadcast and TruTV has the other team.

TBS has national coverage.

IF Kentucky wins, would a #7 seed vs. #8 seed, be the lowest seeds ever to play for the championship? I would think so, but didn't go look it up.

Just shows the parity in college basketball and that the tournament is really about match ups and who is playing well. I would argue that very rarely does the best team win it all actually. One game scenarios don't mean much.

Charles should just stick with the NBA. He seems like a casual cbb fan, at best. No issues with Kenny
