4. You're allowed to say relentless today because that's what they were

A lesser team would have wilted when Harrison Barnes started going nuts.

8. Kentucky new Vegas favorite for NCAA title

Favorites don't mean much in this tourney. We had to beat West Virginia who knocked our 5 # 1 draft choices team out last year, beat # 1 seed OSU for the first time in 6 tries in the NCAA, beat #2 seed North Carolina who beat us in December by 2, and now have Connecticut who beat us bad 84-67 in November. If we title out it will be the hardest tourney ever. Lots of great teams and players this year.

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas casinos have tabbed Kentucky the latest favorite in an NCAA tournament full of upsets, and are hoping that Virginia Commonwealth ends its improbable run without a title.
The Glantz-Culver line made Kentucky a 2-point favorite to win its semifinal game against Connecticut on Saturday night, and Butler a 2 1/2-point favorite over Virginia Commonwealth.
"Kentucky probably has a better (starting) five than UConn has," said Mike Colbert, race and sports director for Cantor Gaming, which runs four sports books in Sin City.
"It's not a big number, but I do think Kentucky is slightly better - and they did beat Ohio State, who was the No. 1 seed in the entire tournament," he said. "I think they've had a harder road to get where they are."
Colbert said his books made Kentucky an 8-5 favorite to win the title, best among the Final Four teams. Connecticut is the next favorite at 11-5, while Cantor is giving Butler 4-1 odds and VCU 7-1 odds to win it all.

5. Congrats to era.

Going into the Final Four as the heavy fave. Sorry, bro. Rooting for one of the upstarts. Love to see Butler do it.

7. Thanks Condem, That's OK I like Butler too, just not as much.

My # 2 Son went to High School with Shelvin Mack, a Lexington boy. I like their Coach too.

I really appreciate a good sport!

(Note: I am not a Kentucky fan, though my relatives are, which makes this rather bittersweet. I just really appreciate people who see sports as fun!)
