final four

With all of the parity filling college basketball this season, it has come down to this.  Louisville, the best team from the Big East all year, and a Big 10 titan in Michigan.  Here is a preview of what should be a terrific ballgame in Atlanta:

Think about one title in any sport.  You are in a group.  Special yes, but not rare in terms of the pure winner's category in sports.  Let's face it.  We remember Gretzky, Jordan, Woods, Montana, Lombardi, Brady, Magic, Bird, Mantle, Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Jeter, Bryant, Wooden, Auerbach and Russell.  Great players and legends?  Yes.  But we remember them more because they won.  And won.  And won

The 2012 Final Four includes four NCAA basketball programs that have each won at least one national championship in its history. In total, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State, Kansas have 49 Final Four appearances and 13 NCAA basketball titles between them.

Unlike VCU's suspect NCAA Tournament berth, head coach Shaka Smart earned his invitation to sing, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."  He's a little too stiff with the "1-2-3" at the :56 second mark.

Brian Sinkoff was joined on "Sound-off with Sinkoff" Tuesday (4/5/11) by Siena men's basketball head coach Mitch Buonaguro for the final edition of the "Saints Sound-off."

Congrats - John Calipari and Kentucky are in the Final Four for the first time since the late 90's. But I'm not impressed. Sorry - it's like a kid cheating on an exam and then wanting credit for being smart. He's a cheater.  Period.

VCU makes an improbable run to the Final Four. The Rams should've made a run to the NIT.

The 2011 Final Four is set.  I don't know who in their right mind could've actually seen this group of teams making it to Houston.  Each squad has a very interesting storyline.

The 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament Final Four is now all set! Only one person in America predicted all final four teams correctly with Kentucky, UConn, Butler, and the big surprise, VCU making it to Houston, TX. Why did only one person get all the Final Four teams right? Well that's because this group of teams has rewritten the history books of the NCAA tournament.
