I was very confident about Kentucky against Ohio St and while I wasn’t as confident I thought they would win their next game as well. Here though I am really unsure. Kentucky has the athletes to win this game if it stays fast and furious but if UConn slows it down and plays physical at both ends and if Kentucky is off a little from the 3-point line then the edge goes to UConn. I wrote an article about these 2 teams along with Washington St and Michigan St back during the Maui Invitational so it’s nice to see them both here now.
Butler has a experience advantage and they certainly have a never say die spirit and they are here because they simply out coached Billy Donovan and out willed Florida last week. VA Commonwealth is easy to root for though. I mean they are an 11 seed in the Final Four with as equal an opportunity to be playing for the National Championship as you could ever ask for. Experience will be a factor without a doubt and as much as I think they could beat Butler I am worried that the pressure will finally be too much.
If I were in a situation where I had to make a play I would take Butler and UConn. Fortunately since I’m not I am rooting for Kentucky and Virginia Commonwealth.
