NewMexiKen promised to link back to Thinking ahead to the Final Four, but was so discouraged by Arizona’s loss I forgot.
I said that in Chicago, the winner of the Arizona-Oklahoma State game would go to St. Louis. I was wrong, it’s Illinois.
In Albuquerque, I said it would be the winner of the Louisville-Washington game, and it’s Louisville.
In Syracuse, I thought North Carolina would win, and that was correct.
For Austin, I predicted the winner of the Utah-Kentucky game would emerge, but Michigan State defeated Kentucky.
Two for four.
Louisville and Michigan State showed great desire, winning in overtime and double overtime respectively, but my choice to win it all is Illinois, which showed they would not be denied. If not, may Roy Williams of North Carolina finally win a championship.
