Who picked that?

So who out there believed that the highest seed through to the Final Four would be UConn? I know I didn’t! And with them facing off against Kentucky there will be at least an 8 see getting through to the Championship game. Did you know that this is the first time that a 1 or 2 seed has not made it into the final 4 in the tournaments history? Wow.

You have to say that Butler have to be favourites in the other Semi but everyone has been favourites against VCU so far so that is nothing new! But it will be new to Butler who have been nursing the underdog title so far but now will have some extra pressure to play with whilst VCU have nothing to lose so that could go either way. Butler have already made history in the fact that they are the first team to qualify for the Final Four two years in a row without carrying the number 1 or 2 seed in either year.

Well I’m hoping that VCU can go all the way as it would be an amazing story for them and also for the organisers of the tourny, as they were both told by everyone in the media how they were not good enough to be there, how other teams are better than them and more deserving. I wonder if these same people will still argue that point?
