On an objective note, this has to be one of the worst tournaments in history from the Sweet 16 on in terms of anticipated close games between top teams being total and complete non-compelling blowouts...

This is probably the first time since 2008 that the national championship will actually feature the two best teams. Hopefully, this one can be as good as that one.

Any input on how you guys beat them last year?

Which, I think UNC is a great team and all, but all of this, they just have too much size and talent for everybody else, they had the same team last year, and nobody thought that.

We won because they could not handle the versatility of our offense. They tried to stop the outside shot, and when they did, our guys would drive to the hoop. UNC couldn't defend both, and they'd wind up fouling us. In the second half, we had something like 48 points on 32 possessions.

But I was really impressed with UNC against us last year. Their offense was crazy: 4 turnovers total, 8-13 three pointers, and around 1.2 PPP. They were a very good offensive team last year and have kicked it up to "incredible" this year. They aren't near as good on the defensive end.

I like these two teams as well. It should be a great game. I'll hate to see it end...but I have to believe Monday's game will be a battle.

By far and away the two best teams made it

These two just annihilated every team in their pathway with ease

It is cool to have the unquestionable two best teams remaining

Neither team has slowed down since the start of the tournament.. I hope this is a really close one because I want to see a good game ''no blowout'' and so do most all the other fans

Part of me agrees. The other part of me saw the NCAA Title Game last year. In the first half, Duke looked like they were going to run away with it and we got some very questionable calls. In the second half, we took a 9 point lead and were on our way to the title and poof they called eight fouls on us in eight minutes, at least three of which were awful.

I hope we have a close game, but I also hope to God we don't see the NCAA trying to play God to set up an exciting finish. If one team is way better than the other, they deserve to run away with it.
