The pretenders are gone now and after Saturday we’re down to two: Michigan and Villanova.
We were completely wrong in our predictions but you know, as the last Sam Kinison used to say, if you’re going to miss Heaven by an inch might as well miss by a mile. The man had a point.
We thought that Loyola would be the better defensive team but Michigan proved us wrong.
And we thought that Kansas could control Villanova’s three point shooting. Boy were we ever wrong about that.
Loyola first.
Michigan trailed for a good bit of the game before coming back and taking the lead with 6:20 left and then pushing it out to ten before settling for an eight point win.
