You have to admit it's kinda crazy to think one of these six teams will be in the championship game.

Yes and no, UF and Wisconsin have been in championship games pretty recently. UF has been in 3 championship games and 4 final fours since 2000. Plus Baylor and Gonzaga have been highly ranked team for a while now. Certainly Xavier would be a surpise on the magnitude of Butler, but that happened to. SoCar would be sort of like Villanova when they beat Georgetown in the championship game.

I'm just saying in terms of performance this year. Other than Gonzaga and Baylor early in the season, nobody really thought any of the other teams were serious contenders for the NC. Then you have blue blood central on the other side. :lol:

Listening to the radio this morning, they were talking about the difference between the two sides that would end up in the Championship Game. On one side, you had all the "storied, traditional" schools (Kansas, North Carolina, UCLA, Kentucky, and then Oregon and Butler) and on the other side a bunch of Schmucks with no tradition and up in the air (Florida, Wisconsin, Baylor, South Carolina, Gonzaga and Xavier)

Um... didn't we have back to back championships? Something very uncommon? Must've been just luck.

I believe in NCAA tournament play we are 8-1 against that side of the bracket. With the one loss coming against Butler in the regional final 2011.
We have thoroughly owned UCLA over the years, knocked off Butler twice, and one a piece against UNC and oregon.

We have to use our quickness and push the tempo and wear out Wisc. They are not a deep team. We have to play tough D and hopefully not get in foul trouble. Allen is due for a breakout game. Go Gators!!

We have to limit that big guy they have and I think we can win this game.

AWFUL start. No penetration. Jump shots only. Antithesis to last game.
