WHats up bros,

I have been watching the tourny and by far the Xavier vs K.st. was the best game this year....I think WVU has gotten less credit then they should they are a very touch team...Although I agree with most in saying kentucky and K. ST. is the showdown setting up but that sleeper team always comes back to haunt and I think that sleeper is WVU...(although you could make a great case for butler being the sleeper) I am a fab five michigan wolverine fan dont care for MSU no doubt but as always they are tough to...I am hoping that msu somehow gets by K.ST. and WVU gets by kentucky so we have the battle of the unbeleivable but I really beleive the championship game will take place in the final four...
Kentucky vs WVU I think will be that game...The winner of that game should go on to win it all...If WVU gets hot at the right time they could steal this whole damn thing....Anyway it goes its been an awesome tourny and I think the dif between 1 and 64 in college has narrowed signifigantly...Parity is awesome and I think D1 college ball has really leveled out this year...Thats awesome..
