Saturday Final Four Open Thread

April 5th, 2008 11:09 AM

So it comes down to this:

Memphis vs. UCLA

Kansas vs. North Carolina

Strangely, this tournament has not brought in the TV ratings of many in the past. Why do you think that is? Has this been a good tournament in your eyes, especially with the great run by Davidson? Or, was there too many blowouts and too few upsets? That aside, isn't this really a fantasy Final Four? All number ones there at the end battling for the National Championship? Does it get any better than this?

As to the games, ignore your pools and pre-tournament preferences: do the Hawks have a prayer against the Heels? Are the Heels the most dominating force in this tournament in quite some time? Are there any superlatives that accurately describe Tyler Hansbrough? Honestly, who's the last player to this dramatically impact the game of college b-ball?

To game one, isn't this likely to be the better of the two games? The current line is Memphis -2. Do the bookies have it right?
