    What do you think? I've been a KU fan my entire life, so obviously I will be rooting for Kansas here. I also think that Kansas will win based on their expirience, and because they are a team full of stars, rather than Marquette who relies heavily every night on one player. You saw Kansas's range of players who can score, rebound, and do everything else. Even if they do not have the best bench, with guys that can play 35-40 minutes a game so well, the bench shouldn't hurt them much.

    Kansas 82-71

    I didn't expect Kansas to get by Duke, but they showed they belong in the Final Four. They did a great job of containing Duke's offensive rookie, Reddick, and I think Kansas will use the same type of strategy to shut down Dwayne Wade. Wade is the key to Marquette's success, and Roy Williams will have a game plan to shut him down. It's up to his players to execute the plan. I think Marquette's run ends here. But I've been off with my picks this tourney.

    That is a good point, if they can contain Wade the way they did Reddick, they will have put a cork on most of Marquette's offensive firepower. It should be noted that Reddick played a big role in stopping himself as well. He did miss several open looks which could have potentially got him going.

    i agree, kansas will defenetely win if collison and hinrich play great ball. dewayne wade is the key player, marquette needs him to score like crazy to have a chance to win.

    I think Kansas will be Marquette but not by much. And Syracuse will beat Texas and then beat Kansas. 8)

    I dont see Marquette beating Kansas here. Hell, I didnt seeing Kansas beating Duke nor Marquette beating Kentucky. I jus think Kansas has to much talent and two seniors who want a National Title in Hinirch and Collison. If both play like they will I dont see how Marquette can win this game. I think Kansas's defense will be focused 100% on Dwayne Wade. They shut down Duke's guy in Reddick and I expect the same thing to happen for Wade.
