This weekend's games involve four teams that probably did not expect to be here. Kentucky couldn't win a game on the road for much the SEC regular season. UConn had to win 5 games in the Big East tournament, which means they were a low seed in their own conference tournament, to hit their stride. Butler reached the championship game last year, in what many people deemed to be a fluke, but lost their best player to the Utah Jazz in the first round of last year's NBA draft. VCU played in a play-in game just to be a part of March Madness.
VCU vs. Butler- It's amazing to think that VCU is still playing. Butler was in this spotlight last year. That experience alone should be enough to give them an advantage. Can the VCU run continue? Why not, I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't think so. Butler to the championship game.
Kentucky vs. Connecticut- This game, unlike the early game, involves two traditional college basketball powers. It hurts me to admit but UK seems to be on a winning roll. Can Kemba Walker carry the Huskies once again? I hope so (anybody but Kentucky!) but the Wildcats team speed should offset the Huskies bigs. I hope I'm wrong but.....Kentucky to the final.
