We’re down to four. UConn, Kentucky, VCU, and Butler left to vie for a national championship.  Here’s a VCU song and  my picks

Someone emailed this to me yesterday.  It’s a song written and produced by VCU students Torin Ortiga and DJ Fili embracing their school’s Shaka-ing run to the Final Four.  Will it end tonight?  That’s why they play the games.  But win or lose the song is worth a listen.  Afterall, VCU fans might as well enjoy this: the odds of it happening again anytime soon are slim to none, VCU!

And while we’re at it: here’s my Final Four predictions.  The only thing we know for sure is we’ll have a championship matchup of tourney tested versus tourney team that turned the tournament upside down.

VCU 71 Butler 69
It’s hard to bet against either one of these teams right now, but there’s something magical in the air right now going for the Rams.  I don’t get the argument that VCU hasn’t faced a defense like Butler, because FSU’s defense was the best in the nation.  VCU has thrived off of being the underdog and everyone seems to be in love with Butler. I’m riding with the Rams for one more night.

UConn 68 Kentucky 61
This is Kemba’s show.  This Huskies team is destined to win.  There’s just no other logic to it.  UConn just refuses to lose tournament games, and how fitting would it be if they got VCU an 11 seed in the title game. Consider: It was CAA cinderella George Mason that stunned UConn in 2006 with a Final Four berth on the line.  Could they get a psuedo-rematch with another CAA cinderella for the national championship?  That would be something.
