Former NCAA tournament selection committee chair Gary Walters once called the too-good-to-be-true pairings that the bracket produces the "serendipity of the tournament."
Roy Williams might use another word in three weeks.
Roy Williams could face his former team in San Antonio.
The dadgum fan might reach into his adjective repertoire from his interview with Bonnie Bernstein circa 2003 to describe the path his top-seeded Tar Heels are on thanks to serendipity. If the seeds hold, the national semifinal would pit No. 1 overall seed North Carolina against Midwest Region No. 1 seed Kansas, the team Williams had just led to the national final when Bernstein asked him if he might bolt for his alma mater.
Wisconsin over Texas
As a Kansas fan, if anyone has Kansas in the final four, you are an idiot. They will disappoint you every year.
When was last time KU was National Champs...cannot remember but it seems like in the past 15 years.
1988 - and they still celebrate it even though it was a lifetime ago. Ridiculous. You know that a team is pathetic when they have 20 year commemorations and celebrations. Kansas is the poor man’s Kentucky, the poor man’s Carolina, the poor man’s Michigan St., etc.
If you have no interest in March Madness why did you bother to click on the thread?
Just to post "boring!!!"--how juvenile.

Good grief.
Final Four with Champ at top
Memphis
North Carolina
Drake
Wisconsin
That was a great game.
Is there no coverage of the games here at FR?
I watched the WVU/Duke game and found it so exciting...but I couldn’t find a thread at FR.
Your Final Four selection sounds intriguing... I like it... how did you come up with it?
