My Final Four right now would be Gonzaga, UK, Arizona and Auburn with the Zags beating Arizona to cut down the nets. 

I pegged Arizona before the field was announced, but I don't like the bracket they have.  I still haven't decided yet.

I have the same final 4 with a rematch of the 97 finals. 

My final four is UK vs. Duke and Arizona vs Wisconsin. 
 

Then UK vs Arizona in the finals. 
 

UK wins 68 to 65.

I think Duke takes an early exit, but I could see the rest of this being a possibility.

Wisconsin is very appealing out of the Midwest.

When I saw the potential second round match-up between Murray State and UK, I threw up.

Last I checked The Dons are actually favored over Murray State (though BPI gives MSU a 56% chance of winning), so I am trying not to build up much anxiety yet.

As a passionate fan of both, I knew this day would come (potentially), but I was hoping it would be during the regular season. It was predictable, but I am already exhausted from my MSU social media friends talking smack about the (potential) game and how UK has been dodging MSU forever. It is odd they have never played, but there is little rationale behind the "UK is scared" theory.

You are a train wreck bug!

They have never played? Typical UK, ducking a tough game. ?

True. They don't want this smoke.

Why does everyone else seem to have a lot more confidence in this UK team than me?  They look overrated to me, low on talent and riddled with holes.

They look inconsistent to me but their glass ceiling is pretty high so you can't rule them out.

If I am looking at all the contenders, UK would definitely be one that would have a down arrow next to their name. I think much of their "poor" play can be attributed to the lack of continuity as a result of injuries, but it is a reality they are dealing with and shouldn't be ignored. I think most can't get out of their heads the KU dismantling.

They just aren't experienced sand baggers like you.

I've got those same first 3, but went with Kansas out of the Midwest.  I don't like the Midwest.  I don't like Kansas or Auburn.  I do like Wisconsin, but I'm always afraid to pull the trigger with them.  

I have Arizona beating Gonzaga in the Championship.
