I saw several panels of so-called experts giving their predictions for the tourney. I was surprised to see how many are taking Louisville over KU to advance to Final Four.
I haven't followed Louisville much this year, but we're getting no respect - which I think is GREAT !

Anything can happen, but we'd be favored if the game were held today on a neutral court. If we see them in KC, all the better.

We got into a few FF's yesterday. On Around the Horn I think all of them had us in their FF's.

Several of ESPN have KU in FF - 3 have KU as NC.

Keep in mind that the "experts" are also "entertainers". As part of the entertainment, it makes sense to "pick" a variety of scenarios. If everyone agreed that Louisville was going out in the first round, they'd lose a bunch of viewers. Frankly, the whole 3 days between selection Sunday and the first games on Thursday (no I don't count the play-in games) is just a prolonged and fairly annoying pre-game show.

Good gawd, let's be done with this insufferable blather from the talking heads and start playing some round ball,
