Well, yesterday's Women's Final 4 had some fireworks in the
handshake line after South Carolina's win over UConn.
Maybe today's Men's Final 4 will have the same fireworks. With UConn's Dan Hurley, you never know. But Arizona's Tommy Lloyd and Michigan's Dusty May are
not known for being loud. Nevertheless, this should
be a great night of basketball.
First game is (2) UConn vs (3) Illinois, 6pm, on
tbs/TNT/truTV, followed by (1) Michigan vs (1) Arizona.
The sum of the seeds UConn had to beat to get to the Final 4:
26 (including #1 Duke).
Illinois: 36 (highest seed #2
Houston)
Arizona: 31 (highest seed #2
Purdue)
Michigan: 35 (highest seed #4
Alabama)
UConn is the most battle-tested, and maybe that will help them
advance to the Final on Monday.
Only 7 brackets have UConn advancing to the Final, while just
one more (8) have Illinois.
The second game has more popular picks: 69 brackets picked
Arizona, while 48 picked Michigan.
Regardless of who wins tonight, you still might win, even with
a loss.

Of the three network simulcasts, truTV will feature Michigan's
original Fab Five alternative broadcast during the Michigan game.
If you don't like basketball, you can catch
Entertainment Tonight on CBS, at least in my area.
