2012 Final Four (New Orleans)

Kentucky/Louisville & Ohio State/Kansas


How bad do you want it?

It is set, Kentucky will take on Louisville at 6:09 ET on Saturday and Ohio State and Kansas will follow them up at 8:49.

My money is on Kentucky, but what do I know? As fun as it will be playing the Cards, the Cats must not get complacent, which I feel like they did last season against UConn. There are still two games ahead of us and we have to show up. But don't worry, having 7 potential 1st-round draft picks on your team makes you feel pretty good about one's chances, and don't think for a second John Calipari doesn't know that. As bad as I hate to say it, Louisville is a solid squad coached by a Hall of Famer in which I'm not allowed to mention his name. They have great defense and will look to put Kentucky and mainly Marquis Teague in sticky situations like they did in late December. We'll see how the young guard takes the challenge. Ohio State has improved since the mid-point spot in the season and I feel as though they are the second best team in the country (that is including Marshall's injury for Carolina) even without the tournament. We all remember the Kansas game earlier in the season and don't think they forgot either. Thomas Robinson is the co-favorite for Player of the Year with Anthony Davis for a reason and he has a good core group of teammates.

It shall be exciting, so get your popcorn ready. I wrote a few weeks back about could this be, "GR8?" and so far that has held hold. This team is amazing to watch and even better when you break it down. Let's go get this title and reclaim or spot as the best college basketball program in the country. Go Cats, Go Big Blue!
