Wisconsin over Kentucky
Duke over Michigan State

Duke over Wisconsin

almost the same but being the homer WI of Duke as they have to get revenge for the early season loss

 

[Arizona_Sting]

It'll be Kentucky-Duke and no one in the country will want either one to win. But it'd be a hell of a game at least.

 

[phantomfoul88]

Gosh, if its Kentucky v Duke I may just avoid the tv altogether. Between CBS and ESPN I couldn't handle it.

 

[TxHeat]

I'll stick with my original prediction and about all I had left after the first dismal tourney day.

Duke over Kentucky.

Rooting for the dogs in this one

Wisky vs Sparty

 

[dcZONAfan]

Kentucky over Duke is what I want. Now that my team is out I want to see history (and Frank get his ass handed to him by WCS). I also want to see Okafor vs. Towns, that would be an insane matchup!

If Wisconsin had not done what they did and had a historic shooting night against us I'd give them a puncher's chance, I just think there is no way in the world they come close to duplicating it.

Also think Duke is going to roll Michigan State but have big time troubles against Kentucky. Don't see a good matchup besides maybe Justice Winslow, but he won't be able to take the ball to the hoop against the Kentucky bigs.

The freshmen have grown up. Duke lost some games early and even lost in the ACC tournament. Kentucky played some shaky games as well. Both Duke and Kentucky are better and for that reason; I pick Duke and Kentucky in the final. Tom Izzo is the magic man;; no doubt. I just don 't see the talent on that team to advance any further. Wisconsin with Kaminsky and Dekker can play and would have a chance in the other side of the draw.

UK over Wisconsin 68-62
MSU over Duke 63-61
UK over MSU 73-59

 

[Tharvot]

Normally, I would have been rooting against both Louisville and Kentucky all tournament long since I think their coaches are 1a and 1b for the biggest slimeballs in college sports.

But, I was put in the awkward position of having to root for both of them because I got those 2 teams in my draft lottery.

That said, I'll be "rooting for" Kentucky because it will earn me more money. BUT, I won't be upset at all if there is an all B1G final.

Yes.

 

[Tin Man]

My bracket has Wisconsin, KY, and Duke in the Final Four. I did not pick MSU (didn't see them coming).
My CG has KY facing Duke, with the Mildcats eking it out on the final shot. One point differential. Closer than the best barber's shave.

 

[jonvi]

UK vs Duke. UK cuts the nets down.

 

[lilchi721]

I picked Duke, Wisconsin,Michigan St., and Kentucky in my final four. And Duke and Kentucky in the championship game.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'd like to see Wisconsin and Michigan State.

But that game sure would get shitting ratings.

 

[rmilia1]

Wisconsin 75 Kentucky 72
Duke 64 MSU 56

Wisconsin 78 Duke 74

 

[iowajerms]

Wisconsin 76, Kentucky 68 - A 1 point game under a minute but foul shots extend Wisconsin's lead. Game closer than score.
Duke 71, Michigan State 67 - Close game, but Duke making less mistakes.

Wisconsin 68, Duke 62 - Epic match up with the 2 best players in CBB. But Dekker steals the show.

 

[pennstatenut]

I have Duke beating KY but since I've dominated the bracket here I'll lose, lol.

Why would everyone hate seeing Duke win? I guess they win a lot, but krzyzewski has mostly been a classy guy as far as I know. calipari on the other hand is a complete shit bag.

Believe whatever narrative you want. I can post links that would make any uninitiated party think any one of the Final Four coaches was a complete and utter dirtbag, and I could also point out some of the unquestionably wonderful things they done. People are complicated creatures and very rarely can you pigeon-hole them into something as simple as "good" or "bad" or even "classy" or "shit bag"

But people here have already made up their minds and have chosen the narrative that they want to believe so arguing about it is pretty pointless.

Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.
