After a flurry of trifectas and tear drops from Stephen Curry, I think it's safe to say we arrived at one of the greatest final fours of all time. For the first time ever, we're left with all one seeds. The action is so great , Dickey V's head is about to explode. Really.
Memphis vs UCLA
This is a situation for UCLA where if they're not careful, they're gonna get burned faster than a dooby at a Grateful Dead show. Everyone saw the lead the the Tigers got off too against Mich State and Texas and if you're a Bruins fan, you better hope they tighten up their "stingy" defense. The one positive UCLA does possess is that they've been in close games this tourney and they happen to have a freshman named Kevin Love who makes babies cry for a living.
But unfortunately for Love (something he or the Bruins are not getting from me) Memphis just has too much talent. And if they hit their free throws down the stretch, they're going to the finals.
The pick: Memphis, 73-69
Match ups to watch and cherish: Rose vs Collison, Love vs Dorsey.
UNC vs Kansas
Put your kids to bed early for this one (wait a minute, this is college, I hope none of you have any) because it's gonna be a barn burner. Both teams love to run and score in transition. Ten future NBAers, two future hall of fame coaches, and two benches deeper than galleries that watch Tiger on Sundays. This has instant classic written all over it and will come down to who plays the better D.
I give the edge to the Jayhawks and their ability to attack the ball. And although Hansbrough always wills his team to win, I'm goin with KU. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!
The pick: Kansas 80-75.
Match ups to watch and cherish: Chalmers, Rush and Collins vs Ellington, Green and Lawson. Hansbrough vs Jackson.
