The Greatest Ever?


Is this year's Final Four the best ever? It is the first ever to have all four #1 Seeds playing. As far as name value, how does it get better? Here are some other great Final Fours on name value alone:
1993
UNC

Michigan
Kentucky
Kansas

1992
Duke
Michigan
Indiana
Cincinnati

1991
Duke
UNC
Kansas
UNLV

1975
UCLA
Kentucky
Syracuse
Louisville

How good were the early '90's? All those from '91-'93 were unbelievable Final Fours.

I have picked UNC from the beginning and I will stick with them. They are playing the best basketball in the tournament. It is amazing how many people are coming around to Memphis. the Tigers have played great all year but it is tough to beta what they did this last weekend against Michigan State and Texas. UCLA and Kansas have had to slip by a couple of teams. UNC and Memphis have been dominant from the opening tip.

Only bad thing about the Final Four: No Gus Johnson!
