It's refreshing to have a truly elite title game

[Eric15]

No mid-majors, no teams just getting hot in March and undermining the integrity of the regular season. These are two great teams with great coaches that have been elite all year, and I can't decide for the life of me who I think is going to win.

Its been nice to see all the heavy weight matchups in this tourney for sure. Duke shot the ball ridiculously well when they beat Wisci early this season. Can they do it again? Both teams IMO are much better than they were then.

Two great teams...two great coaches..a floor full of great players...this should be a very enjoyable basketball game.

Made even more enjoyable for me by Kentucky's absence.

This will be the best championship matchup in years, imo.

People keep telling me that UK/Duke would have been better...for what? Money purposes?

. Wisconsin/Duke are the 2 best teams in college basketball and this game is going to be a classic.

74-72. No idea who wins though

I looked through past title games - I think this is the best matchup since 2008 Kansas/Memphis, which were very evenly matched 1 seeds.

I win $8000 if the final score is
Duke x1
Wisconsin x2

I win $1200 if it's
Duke x2
Wisconsin x1

So that's what I'm ultimately rooting for, though I hope Duke wins. Regardless, it should be a great game and have no idea who I think will win.

Not a gambler. Does that mean Wisconsin has to double Duke's score for you to win $8000?

Championship games between two 1 seeds.
2008 Memphis v. Kansas- great game
2007 Ohio State v. Florida- Florida won pretty easy.
2005 Illinois v. North Carolina- great game
1993- Michigan v. North Carolina- great game-C-Webb TO game
1982 Georgetown v. North Carolina- great game, GW shot made by some guy Michael Jordan.

So odds are we will have a great game tonight.

I believe he is talking about the square game.

the x1 and x2 represent the score as in 81 and 82 where the x =8. He doesnt care about the x value only the 2nd number.

OK. Wow. Never would have gotten that in a million years. Thanks.

No, it's like a super bowl box. So the last number in Duke's score has to be a 1 and Wisconsin has to be a 2.

It was $300 a box and every game paid out something...so a 63/100 chance of getting at least $150 back. And I have not won anythjng.

Great stuff.

Incredible how infrequently two 1s play in the final.

Definition of parity.

Yeah, I missed one more
1999 UConn v. Duke, but it is pretty crazy how much parity there is college hoops and how few times we have had two of the best teams playing for the title against each other.
