Is this year's Final Four really a huge surprise?  email this discussion to a friend?

gmoney168 (57) 2 years ago

I know by looking at seeding it may seem that this year is a surprise Final Four, but is it really? Yes, Duke has the big three and played in a decent conference and were a number 1 seed, so they aren't really a huge surprise after Nova went out early. Yes, WV was in contention for a number 1 seed and played in another powerhouse conference, and although they beat Kentucky they still aren't a major surprise. However, looking at 5 seeds Butler and MSU is deceiving. Butler has the surprise element. MSU has the coach and the experience. They weren't expected to make it but at the same time they aren't George Masons.

With that being said, this year really shouldn't be too jawdropping when looking at the Final Four. Minus the big names of Kansas, Kentucky and Syracuse, Duke and WV have great shots to win and one of the 5 seeds will be in the championship. It was a great year to watch and I'm sure a great year to play in.

Thoughts? Was this year really that surprising to you?

I've heavily watched college basketball, mainly the Mountaineers, (since I live in Morgantown,) since I was around 21 or so, the final four wasn't surprising, I figured we would've been a number 1 seed, which we should have been, even though we did end up losing to Duke, those b**tard babies that the devil won't even claim as his own, I hope Butler wins it, Duke doesn't deserve to win ever again, so no I'm not surprised, but thrilled in knowing that we beat the unstoppable Kentucky.

I was pulling for WV as well. It's probably because I had them in the finals in my bracket but I think it may also be because of my hatred of Duke. I hate them and NC because I consider them the Yankees of college basketball. I love the Yankees but hate Duke and NC. Those are all teams that you have to love or hate!
