Tonight's game featuring the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kentucky Wildcats will showcase two teams who arrive at this game following seasons that were filled with expectations.
Kansas had to replace much if its roster from last season's highly ranked team. That the Jayhawks are in the final game is a tribute to the Kansas program and Coach Bill Self's staff. Kansas is always good (and Thomas Robinson is a super college player), but championship game good is probably a bit of a surprise this season.
Kentucky always replaces players. It is the school of the One-and-Done. But this group of freshmen (led by Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) seems to work hard and not be as ego-driven as previous groups that Coach John Calipari has brought to UK. That this team was talented enough to play for a championship was a known possibility if everything went well this season. It has.
Here are our picks for tonight's game (you should probably only read Tonya's pick as she has done better at this than the rest of us):
Parker- Kentucky
Turner- Kentucky
Tonya- Kentucky
Greg- Kentucky
The Kentucky Wildcats seem to be the obvious favorite. But we will be rooting tonight for the Kansas Jayhawks.
