    Michigan State to me is like Uconn come tourney time. They could be mediocre all year but they get to the tourney and make a run regardless.

    Its weird how RB/SL and now this site has never gotten any NCAA hoops discussion going.

    Izzo's the man! People who think coaches don't matter need to look over what Izzo routinely does with MSU. They could have been justified a seed anywhere from 4-8, got a 7, and so far have beat a 2, 3, and 4, and amother trip to the Final Four. Not as impressive for a 7 to be there as VCU a couple years back, but when a team like State is a 7 seed it means the expectations are pretty low.

    Would love to see some revenge on Duke for that double digit loss back in November, followed by playing spoiler for Kentucky.

    I like how the big ten still managed to get 2 teams in the final four - considering they had a down year from many analysts lol

    Pitino & Izzo are great coaches...come tourney time I never doubt their experience....their seeds doesn't really matter they both had mediocre teams all year around but Izzo got Sparty playing really well...

    I use to live in Wisconsin, so I know many people who are very excited for tonight's game. I don't have a favorite college basketball team, I'm just hoping to see some good, competitive basketball

    I think they have a shot, but I expect Kentucky to win pretty easily. I'm thinking a 10 point win give or take like 3 points. I think Kentucky leads for most of the game, but Wisconsin will keep it a single digit deficit. I also really want Kentucky to win tho. I hate Wisconsin.

    Bill Walton tweeted that Michigan State needs to go in the stands and get Magic Johnson, lol

    But yeah, I agree with your view on the next game, Kentucky wins....they're just too athletic

    Lol Bill Walton... Don't even get me started on his commentary either haha. I don't think Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky will do well going up against Anthony-Towns and Cauley-Stein. That's basically my reasoning. If Wisconsin wants to pull the upset, someone else will have to step up.

    Drake had a rough night... Toronto lost at the buzzer and now Kentucky is 38 and done.

    A little upset that we don't get to see an undefeated season, but props to Wisconsin. They surprised me.

    I've said it many times before. College basketball refs are the reason I watch the NBA so much more than college. The refereeing was terrible tonight. For both teams.

    Wisconsin vs. Duke in the championship. Who ya'll got? I'm taking Wisconsin.

    Kentucky is overrated, they are a very good team and one of the best in the country but if they were in the ACC or Big 12 they would easily have 4-5 losses. They beat Kansas, UNC, or Lousville early in the season but basically after December they did not play one good team until the tournament.

    Refs were absolutely horrible. U see someone get smacked in the face, intentionally and make a no call, then a charge on an obvious no charge... And Wisconsin still took it!!!! Ha!!!

    The thing I don't understand is what is eligible for a review and what isn't? How was that dirty slap reviewable but the d--- shot click violation isn't? I was heated.
