What would be the most interesting Final Four and Championship game? I would obviously like to See The Ville make it. I'd think it'd be great if other other three were Nova, Memphis and either WVU or WKU. There would be nothing better than a Louisville vs. Memphis NC.

At this point I'm rootin' for the 3 remaining BE teams and........hmm........Memphis I guess.

You have to understand that there is a speciasl love-hate thing between Louisville, Memphis, and Cincinnati!

That's what I picked for ESPN's Bracket Challenge.

I picked WVU to go to the Final Four too. The matchup that worried me most is coming up tomorrow night. I was hoping somebody would take care of Xavier first. They're going to be WVU's toughest challenge in the West Region.

If WVU gets by Xavier, UCLA will be no problem for the Mountaineers. But Xavier...?

Bit,
As luck would have it, Huggy has experience playing Xavier from his days in Cincinnati. I'm sure some of the Bearcat fans can't give you some idea how he'll attack the Musketeers. If Alexander keeps shooting the way he has since the BET, I believe you guys can beat anyone in the country.

I'm going to make a bold prediction, here.

Whoever wins between Xavier Vs. West Virginia is going to the Final 4. That's right, the team that wins will upset UCLA, and head off to San Antonio.

I don't know if Xavier can play inside with UCLA. WVU matches up better against the Bruins. Xavier matches up well against WVU, but not, I think, with UCLA.

A lot of tradition and rivalry between the trio, for sure. It is a shame that Memphis was separated due to arbitrary conference alignment. Any of you notice the current-running ESPN commercial which plays on well-known college rivalries? Louisville vs Memphis is among 5 which are referenced. Not bad, considering we don't even play anymore.

1. I don't know why you all are talking about playing UCLA. They won't even be in the "turn"ament (not "tore"nament) after WKU beats them. Then you will have to worry about the Toppers!

2. I like that they have Memphis and Louisville in that hotel commercial. I have heard it said though, the only reason it is not a UK logo, is that they have a contract with another hotel chain.

The Toppers, or UCLA, will be no problem for WVU. Either ultimately goes down to Alexander the Great.

Xavier is the team that worries me.

Stanford vs. Western Kentucky
Washington State vs. Davidson

That would be the best Final Four...

No Wait...

That would be the worst Final Four....ever

So says the SEC

Can you imagine by some rhelm of the imagination a National Championship game between Davidson and Western Kentucky? It would be like living in a parallel universe.

No BE teams in the Final Four. :drinky2:

I have and it really upsets the UK fans! But who cares about them anyway!
