Battle in the Big Easy

Tonight, two of the most storied college basketball programs in Kansas and Kentucky will battle it out for the National Championship in New Orleans. Kentucky came into the tournament as the #1 seed. They made their way here through the South Region. They knocked off Louisville to solidify their spot in tonight's game. Kansas is coming from the Midwest Region. They were the #2 seed and had to get by Detroit, Purdue, NC State, and North Carolina to make it to the Final Four. They escaped past Ohio State on Saturday to get to tonight. This will be a very exciting matchup. These two teams met earlier this year at the Garden. Kentucky won that fight. Kentucky is the more athletic team; however, I think Bill Self will outcoach John Calipari. This will be a very fun matchup to watch, but I think Thomas Robinson will win MVP and will lead his Kansas Jayhawks to a national championship. His mother will be looking down on him tonight as the Kansas Jayhawks will be rocking New Orleans.
