#15 St. Peter's run came to an unfortunate end in the Elite Eight (!), but they gave it all they had, so much respect to them. I just love these Cinderella teams because they know they've got nothing to lose, so they play their hearts out in each and every game.
Not much left for me to root for, so I'll be pulling with the Tar Heels. The duel between them and Duke should be epic.

Saturday will have two amazing games with storylines
Kansas vs Villanova(Lesser of the two games, but how will Villanova deal with the loss of one of their best players)
Duke vs UNC(Tobacco Road Rivalry, Coach K final game potentially against UNC, first ever tournament meeting, etc.)
I predict it will be Duke vs Kansas battling it out on Monday night.

My only prediction right now is Duke v. UNC will be the most watched game this entire tourney (amongst those who actually watch and follow college hoops, not just the bracket masters), on paper Duke should be able to win. But who knows... hopefully it'll be a great and memorable game.
Good luck to your team, at any rate!
The Final Four are about to tip off - I'll be rooting for 'Nova and UNC in their respective games, but more than likely Kansas and Duke will go into the final on Monday. Ah well...
Good luck to everyone still watching and following the tourney, hopefully both games will be great and exciting. (And refereed fairly!)

Wooooo, UNC!
Much respect to coach K and his team though, I've always disliked Duke because of how good they are/were because of him.

Understood.
You gonna get the Tour of Flanders okay through your US provider/streamer tomorrow without having to pay extra?
NO, I'll have to read Flanders and then watch the highlights on YouTube.
This is another excellent question....
I already feel sorry for the poor (Duke) devil who has to fill coach K's shoes.
I imagine they would try to promote within. Think North Carolina - the legendary Roy Williams retires last year & long-time assistant Hubert Davis gets the job. Davis also played at NC (1988 - 92). Though they went only 23-8 in the regular season, they're in the finals & that's all you can ask of a top-tier iconic basketball program.
I'd be surprised if there isn't any qualified assistants at Duke to take over the reigns of Coach K.

If it's not too personal, which school in the US have you attended and graduated from? (I'm a UW Husky, so I will readily commit to the mere idea that we usually suck at basketball.)
Having said that I think Kansas has the upper hand in the final, but am still pulling with the Tar Heels. (Just because I remember and feel sentimental about watching Michael Jordan play way back when.)

LC has 20+ NAIA World Series Baseball titles, but other than that none of my alma maters have 'big time' sports teams.
I listened to it on the radio...old school!
Close game!
