Kansas 78, Arizona 75

Few things give me more pleasure than watching the Wildcats lose. I'm particularly happy that I never have to see Gardner, Walton or the dastardly Rick Anderson (who directed a crotch-grab at the 6th man club two years ago) wear an Arizona uniform again. But what an outstanding basketball game. All the runs by both teams, the athletic plays and the back-and-forth action in the last seven minutes combined to give us the second great regional final of the day.

With both Kentucky and Arizona losing, all those Chicken Littles can shut up about having both teams on the same side of the final four bracket. For two weeks, nearly every sports journalist cried foul about how Kentucky and Arizona were going to meet in the national semifinal instead of the final. Well here's a newsflash folks: you can't assume anything about the NCAA tournament. Anyone can be upset in the single-elimination format (unlike in the seven-game playoff series of the pro world) which is what makes this best sporting event there is.
