Kentucky (34-2)

I believe Duke is looking very strong, especially on defense, but Kentucky is looking scary (and I am a Duke fan).

    Kentucky basketball hasn't been very much fun that last few years, so I'm hoping that the kids can come through for us. We love them ALL.

    Nobody shoots better. Isn't that what this game is about?

      I don't care how many players we lose to injury, we still have Izzo and no one else does. SPARTANS!

            I am hoping Kentucky wins and they have a really good chance. My son has been a Kentucky fan for a vary long time. He is the one that got me to watching UK. I really enjoy them and they are a really GREAT TEAM. You are on your way to VICTORY......

              I've been with UK basketball since I was a student there back in Joe B. Hall days. Once you have blue blood, you will always have blue blood. Go Wildcats!

                Kentucky is the favorite at this point. They might stumble against West Virginia. Whoever wins will beat Duke to get into the title game which Syracuse will win.

                        Being from Knoxville I must pick Tennessee. Tennessee is playing very good basketball right now. Let's not forget that Tennessee did beat both Ky and Kansas this year. Who knows, anything can happen. Go Big Orange!

                            Since the early days when I would listen to Claude Sullivan and then Cawood Ledford call the Kentucky Wildcats basketball games on the radio and then watch Coach Rupp talk basketball and the games with Billy Thompson on channel 18; it was great and it continues to be great - - GO BIG BLUE -- KENTUCKY ALL THE WAY -- THANKS COACH CAL.

                              Can someone explain why UK's coach is not being suspended by the NCAA since Memphis is now having their entire season 'erased'? I can't believe that Coach Cal did not know he was playing an ineligible player. Nothing against UK's team per se 'cause I do believe they are going all the way!

                                  You read it here first! Michigan State versus Cornell in the Final.

                                  Green and White (and banged up) versus Big Red.

                                  Duke, Kentucky and Syracuse are pretenders and will fall like Kansas.

                                  Teams with special heart, talent and coaching shall prevail.

                                  Just for the record, a tad wary of Ohio State and Purdue.

                                  And should I be proven wrong then let's have a 10 seed face a 12 seed

                                  and let the bracket-maker experts be shown for what they are.....

                                  guessers just like the rest of us. Truth be told 2010 Championship

                                  IS UP FOR GRABS, literally. It'll come down to: rebounds, turnovers

                                  and buzzer beaters -- as it should. Hang on for the stirring conclusion

                                  of the best single sporting event in all of America.

                                  Question: Why do they call it MARCH MADNESS, when none of us get to

                                  learn the outcome until APRIL.

                                  How about: April Angst . . . April Arousal . . . April Athleticism . . .

                                  April Avengers . . . April Anticipation . . . or just plain April Showers??!!

                                    CORNELL?? Cornells season ends tomorrow night without a doubt, have you even seen the last 2 games Kentucky has played?!?! Every team that wins the championship has certain key features 1. Good Guard play 2. Phenomenal coaching 3. A consist frontcourt 4. Roll Players. Having john Wall and Bledsoe in the back court covers #1. Any coach that can keep FRESHMAN heavy team with only 2 losses egos' in check is a HELLUVA coach IMO. Demarcus Cousins is the single most dominating Player in college basketball, not to mention starting forward Patrick Patterson (possibly the most complete all-around player in the nation) and freshman big man Daniel Orton (future lottery pick) coming off the bench so that covers numero tres. and lastly with the sketchy-yet-at-times-deadly triple threat of liggins, dodson or darius miller (whos coming off a career high 20 pt game or massacre that was the UK Wake Forest match up) Kentucky is EASILY the best team in college basketball and on April 5th as the cats are doin the John Wall Dance in the middle of the RCA dome hoisting National championship NUMBER 8 high over head, the whole world will realize we have once again claimed that spot atop the college basketball mountain we so disappointingly collapsed from since 1998.
