too long a layoff
Does anyone else feel the 6 days between the Elite 8 and Final 4 ruined the momentum? Maybe in other years the layoff builds hype, maybe in other years there would have been a player like Jimmer or Kyle Singler to read about in the layoff. But this year every single article written is about Shaka Smart with a little sprinkle of Brad Stevens who is suddenly boring to write about or give any credit as the best coach out there. This is his second final 4, compare that with Calipari who is coaching his first "official" final 4 game today. But with no stars and yes I am saying Kemba Walker is not a star and with nobody who actually watches college basketball alive in their office pool this year's final four has lost all momentum from a great first two weeks. But then again I will probably be proven wrong once tip comes and my juices start flowing again.

I agree with bgrables. This years tourney lost a ton of momentum going into the final weekend. Obviously the Ncaa tourney brings in a lot of viewers purely because of the gambling aspect. Since this years tourney was ridiculous more than ever... most those addictive gamblers like myself stopped caring when we had all our final four teams out in the sweet 16. Anyways I will definitely watch tonight and see Butler probably lose a heartbreaker for the second straight year. Kemba and Calhoun will carry the huskies to another title.
