after a fun weekend, now everyone left becomes serious about the game.
my picks for the final four are: illinois, north carolina, kentucky, and louiville.
louiville was ranked no. 4 in the nation in the final poll, but how come they are only regional no. 4 seed?
each with 3 teams left, acc and big 10 prove to be winners. there is a reason to belive the final will be between illinois and north carolina

The consensus is that the final will consist of Illinois and NC. I think that Wisc. Milwaukee is the Cinderella team this year. So Illinois might encounter difficulties on Thursday when they go against Wisc. Milwaukee. I hope for the best. Go Illini!

Wis-Mil looks great. I picked them to make it to the Sweet 16 (one of the few teams I get to brag about) but I don't think they will give the Illini much trouble. It would be a fun game to be at with so many fans representing both teams.

In a way The Illini will have home court advantage since the game will be played in the Chicago area. Also the Illini go into tonight's game with history on their side. No Number 12 Seed has ever beat a Number 1 seed. Nevertheless, this is March and anything can happen!

U of I is twice as far from Chicago compared to Wis-Mil. So they didn't necessarily have a home court advantage, although the Illini have never lost in Chicago.
This past weekend's Elite Eight games were absolutely amazing! I still can't believe how close they all were.
Go Spartans & Illini!!!

I disagree with you. Remember, the game was played in Illinois not in Wisc. So it doesn't matter if the All-state arena is geographically closer to Wisconsin. The game was still played in Illinois. My friend attended the Sat night game and he isn't even an UI Alumni. He attended because he wanted to have a team to cheer for. Since the Bulls last won in Chicago, we have had little to cheer for. So now the Illini have given us something to cheer for.

I take it you aren't considering the 2003 Cubs as something to cheer for.
I see your point though. Chicago "neutrals" are more likely to root for the Illini and I do recall seeing more orange in the stands than anything.

Michigan State looks strong. But so does Louisville, Illinois, and NC. This year's final four teams are strong. Anyone can win. However Go Illini!
