    U Kentucky Vs Kansas U who would've guessed?????

    Who would have ever guessed those two might be contending for the Championship?

    I wonder what the Vegas odds makers calculated for either of those two teams to be in it at the beginning of the season? Or playing each other for that matter.

    Anyway it should be fun. I am pulling for Kansas and the Big12. Perhaps it will help prolong the longevity of the conference.

    Who would have guessed?......Maybe a KU alum like me!
    (To be totally honest, I would NEVER have guessed this at the start of the season. It looked to me like a re-building year for KU. But Coach Self is incredible. We hardly miss Roy any more)

    When was the last time that universities starting with the same letter met in the finale as this year's K?

    Good question, Jim!

    I guessed. This was the final match-up I choose before the tournament began. I have Kansas winning, although that will be a tall order given the way both teams are currently playing.
    ...just my $.02.

    1951 - Kentucky over Kansas State

    1941 - Wisconsin over Washington State

    1939 - Oregon over Ohio State (the first even NCAA championship)
    ...just my $.02.

    Hats off to Kansas. I think the turning point was right at the end of the half, when Craft got stuffed and KU scored. I'm a Jayhawk fan tonight!

    I rather doubt that you miss Roy at all! You have a better coach now!

    Roy Williams is a good recruiter who is lost during a game. I said it when he left and Self arrived, they got the better deal. Bill Self is likely the best coach in the country right now.
