Kendall's Picks for the Final Four

I'm sure you're dying to see my picks, right?  RIGHT?

Here goes...

Butler over VCU.  Three reasons: 1) Butler defends the three point shot better than any team in college basketball, 2) Matt Howard -- a player for whom I think VCU has no answer, and 3) I think Brad Stevens is a better coach than Shaka Smart.  Given a full week to prepare for this game, I like the Bulldogs.

Kentucky over UConn.  More talent on the roster, top to bottom.  Better bigs.  Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb will get theirs, but I just think Kentucky has too much.

Kentucky over Butler.  Just a gut call.  Plus, a mid-major winning the NCAA Tournament would be another sign of the apocalypse, and one which I sincerely do not want to face.


Good luck to everyone as the hay enters the barn today and Monday night!  GO RAMS!

  1. I can't separate my interests from my picks: Connecticut over VCU on Monday night.

  2. Also, Kendall's picks would likely have Teigue winning the player pool.
