We're going to let TSUN not have to give a couple of points, just a straight-up bet.

This. Had to stop watching the game today, because it was becoming too infuriating to watch UM run away with it. Don't get me wrong, I respect there team because when they play well, they're one of the better teams in the country, but I hate seeing them do well. Always hope for them to lose & this game will be no different. I don't even want to begin to imagine the fury if they go all the way. Let's just hope the Orange can do us all a favor & end this dream before it get's too real. What you got, Michael Carter-Williams ?

Think we are going to see an All Big East/Acc final.
I really think Syracuse has peaked at the right time and their defense will cause Michigan a lot of problems. Carter-Williams and Triche are such pests at 6'6'' and 6'4'' at the top of that zone, and the really shut down penetration from the perimeter while at the same time being very good at contesting shots.
I'll be interested to see how McGary does down low. He's going to have to be an offensive rebouding machine for Michigan to win. In the end I think Syracuse is able to score a lot easier than Michigan is. I also expect Staukus to come back to earth after his career game against UF. I just don't see him putting multiple games together of that calibre.
A bit off topic, but Carter-Williams has probably played himself into a lottery pick should he leave. I've been saying it'd be a travesty if Marcus Smart went ahead of Burke in the draft (he will) but I'm starting to think Carter-Williams may have played himself in front of Burke as well. Kids at 6'6'' aren't supposed to be that smooth with his handle. Kid is a great player. Will be interesting to see if he can avoid freshman mistakes in the Final 4.

He's actually a soph.
Syracuse peaking coincides with MCW and Triche pulling their heads out of their asses and not committing ridiculous turnovers at key moments. Triche is still in a shooting slump, so it would be nice if that part of his game came back for the F4. If the Michigan that hit 200 3 pointers against OSU shows up...Syracuse won't win. I think Syracuse's offense will pick up against Michigan because they play no D. It all depends on if Michigan is hitting their outside shots. McGary shouldn't be an issue because teams usually don't score from inside the zone. Burke shouldn't be able to penetrate off the dribble either, so I see it coming down to how Michigan shoots from outside the paint.
I have no problem rooting for Louisville if Syracuse can't do the job....but I don't really want it to get to that point. It's about time that the Michigan from the B1G tourney shows back up.

I hate scUm as much as the next guy but I wouldn't mind the big ten finally winning a title in a big time sport.
Not a fan of Louisville Wichita or Syracuse, but rooting for big 10 in this one as hard as that seems

In all seriousness, I could see any team winning it all. I would put L'ville at 75% chance and scUM/Cuse at 10% with the Shockers at 5%.

I think Louisville will win the tournament, I am just so sick of the media being so anti big 10. Either way only team I have left in my bracket is Louisville who I predicted winning it all so.
