As a BIG 10 guy it's hard for me not to pull for Michigan.
Also, not a big Rick Pitino guy. Comes off as bit of a sleaze ball.
Not all that excited about his 30-year old kid coaching the Gophers but I am willing to give him a chance.
Who do you got and are there any players you are scouting for your local pro team?

Louisville's experience I believe wins out over Michigan.
Trey Burke is your prototypical Combo Guard who can stick around and be a solid bench guy but hard to believe he ever develops into a true 1.
Mitch McGary reminds me a lot of Nick Collison.
Louisville is full of very good college players.
I don't future NBA starters (I mean without a doubt a starter) in this game. College basketball has been watered down and although entertaining, not very good basketball for the past 5 years or so. One and done is killing my favorite time of the year.
Also hope to see my LSU Tigers in the NCAA's next year.

As a Wolves guy I am looking at SGs in this draft.
Think Burke can play the 2 or is he too small/not a good shooter?

Too small to start at the 2.

Trey Burke is a point guard that scores, he doesn't even approach a combo. You aren't playing him off the ball, he can't guard bigger players, doesn't rebound well...basically anything you'd want from a shooting guard. His issues in the pros will be his ability to finish at the rim and the love affair with ridiculously long threes. Makes you think he's afraid of taking shots over taller defenders.
I'm pulling for Michigan. I live near the stadium. Should be a fun night.

Il be rooting for Michigan, been my favourite team to watch in the tourney this year and being from England haven't any local team to support. Big fan of Mitch McGary, needs to develop some more but I think he will be a solid NBA player down the line.

I want Michigan to win. For some reason Mitch mcgary intrigues me. It seems when everyone else in college basketball was choking, mcgary and Burke stepped it up.

As a Celtics fan, I can't legally root for Pitino.

Don't usually follow college basketball, but was really rooting for Louisville after Ware destroyed my urge to ever click on pictures on the internet again. However I watched the final four games and it really was 100 times more entertaining to me then any NBA game. I like the physical play you get in college versus the fucking foul every time down in the NBA these days. Makes me really miss the old days before the hand check rule, good old defensive ball.

Good to see GMU transfer Luke Hancock play a big role in Louisville's win. Reminds me how much I miss that 2011 GMU team with Ryan Pearson, Cam Long, Andre Cornelius, and Hancock.

I'm pulling for Michigan. I live near the stadium. Should be a fun night. Yep. Burke's definitely a PG. He's not a pure PG in the traditional sense, but he's more of a 1 than Kemba Walker is. I think he'll end up falling somewhere between Kyrie Iriving and Jeff Teague in the pros, maybe 17/3/7-type numbers. That's absolutely worth a top 5 draft pick this year. I'm still up in the air as to whether I'd prefer him or Marcus Smart running my team, though. But good win for Louisville. They won me $100. |

Disappointing loss for UM. Fun game though. The early Spike & Luke show was unexpected.

Got some good players coming in next season with Wiggins, Gordon, Parker, The Harrison's, Selden and Randle. Looking forward to seeing how those guys do next season in college especially Wiggins, Gordon and Selden.
