I don't know how it could have gotten any better than this for the finish... 1) One team from each conference 2) Three conference champions 3) One conference co-champion that won its conference tournament 4) The top 3 teams in just about all polls and rating systems 5) The defending national champion 6) An underdog that hasn't been there for many years 7) A team that has come very close for several years but not quite won it 8) A team and coach about which was said they can't win the big ones 9) A team that wants to win it for Travis Roy It should be exciting, wsh I could be in Cincinnati for it.
