Title: Elite Eight
Post by: fbWldcat on March 26, 2011, 12:44:13 AM: UK, VCU, Florida, UNC, UCONN, Arizona, KU, Butler. Who advances to the Final Four and who gets sent home?

UK vs. UNC
Arizona vs. UCONN
Florida vs. Butler
Kansas vs. VCU

My picks are as follows:
KENTUCKY WILDCATS
Arizona
Florida
Kansas

Not a bad Final Four, eh?

Past that I see Kansas beating Florida to a pulp and I see UK edging out Arizona for a classic match-up: UK v. ku.

GO Big Blue! :rock

Post by: fbWldcat on March 26, 2011, 10:31:27 AM: I sure hope so. But Kansas, IMHO, is just too good. I see them in the National title. Of course, they're the only #1 seed left so the pressure is all on them.

Agreed. I was jumping up and down on that very last shot Beauford tried to make. Oh well. I'm still going to root for Kentucky to the Finals.

Post by: oakranger on March 27, 2011, 09:53:57 PM: LOL, KU lost. That what they get for the crap they did before the Richmond game. They beat one Richmond area team and got beat bu another Richmond area team.

Hell of a game. Certainly one that will be forever enshrined in the annals of Kentucky Basketball. Would be even sweeter if we won the Championship.

Well, if they beat UCONN, They are a sure for the win.

Not if VCU knocks down shots like they were against Kansas. That was incredible.

We have the defense to beat any team (Knock on wood). Holding Ohio State to less than 35% shooting. If they beat Kansas? Kansas wasn't the #1 overall ;)

I agree. And i think ppl knew that Kansas will not make it all the way. They do not play like they want it.

i definitely saw that during the VCU game.

i picked Kansas to win it all, because i thought they were the best all-around team in the tournament. i knew that Ohio State wasn't going to make it (partially because i don't like them), i didn't think Kansas would fall.

Whoa!

Butler is in the final four once again. That last game they were down double digits 2x before bringing to even. I figured they would win in O.T. The other team looked tired.

Post by: fbWldcat on March 28, 2011, 08:03:37 PM: Who wins the Final Four games and the National Title?

UK v. UCONN
Keys: If Kentucky can guard Kemba and keep him in check, we definitely have a shot. Being Kentucky, we'll also have to watch out for the one man who never has much of a game, who steps up and tries to be a one man team. Kentucky has to pressure and stop the penetration off the dribble.

My prediction. UK in the Title game.

VCU v. Butler

Butler.

UK v. Butler

Kentucky 2011 National Champions

Go Big Blue!
