Deer readers,
In the spirit of Easter, and devout agnosticism, I've been resurrected from speedbump-induced highway roadkill in time to give some fair, unbiased, and objective predictions and factoids about the upcoming Final Four in Houston, Texas. Let us dive in and see what REALLY matters in these heavyweight fights for national supremacy.
The match-ups
The semifinals feature a pair of North vs. South, Civil War-reminiscent match-ups. In the battle of good versus evil, Villanova takes on the Sooners of Oklahoma. It's worth noting that the Sooner nickname is a civil war artifact that has yet to offend enough people to get changed (and Lon Kruger was allegedly an assistant under Jefferson Davis).
