KU UNC Final Four Showdown

This is what a Final Four logo looks like

WHEW!

In Guatemala, nothing was thought about or talked about yesterday afternoon except for one thing: NCAA Basketball and KU's chance at the Championship. After having the fortune (thank you CBS) of watching KU pummel its opponents up and through the Sweet Sixteen match against Villanova, we thought there would be no problem with small, unheard of, Cinderella story #10-seeded Davidson.

KU's coach Bill Self (James calls him "Bill Self-Conscious" when he's checking his hairdo status) will finally go to the Final Four, only to match up against KU's old coach, Roy Williams (pictured below)



Boy we were wrong. Davidson put up an incredible match, thanks mainly to their star, Stephen Curry, who is this year's NCAA 3-point leader. The boy was incredible, and KU looked crippled against their shooting and defense, not to mention the fact that Brandon Rush couldn't make a shot to save his life. But in the end, Sasha Kahn and a few other key KU players were consistently decent enough to pull out a heart-stopping 59-57 victory and we are headed to the Final Four!

Even if we can play like we have been all year (excluding the Davidson game), UNC will be quite a formidable opponent. They have ex-KU coach Roy Williams, Tyler Hansbrough (from Poplar Bluff, Missouri no less!), and a machine of a team overall.

KU will have to be on their toes, but we are expecting an excellent game no matter what--and a WIN, of course!



Go KU!


See you at the Championship Game!
