Definitely one of the coolest Final Four's I've been around to see.

One and done culture has made college basketball a shell of its' former self.

UCONN is a beast of a 4 seed that’s for sure

AAU culture of coaches and players.

This will possibly be the lowest-rated Final Four so far this century.

If not for UConn I’d watch but they will probably win

I guess I don’t disagree in theory. But I don’t think it’ll be as entertaining or high-quality basketball as most typical Final Fours. Bluebloods/highly-seeded teams typically make for great games. Even FAU’s “Cinderella” run isn’t them playing 1-seed Alabama or 2-seed Arizona, it’s 5-seed SDSU (who I do think is a pretty good team, but doesn’t have the name cache).

My guess is it will get very good ratings with legalized sports betting coming to more and more states.

It’s entertaining but it remains a terrible format to crown a champion

Last years final four was Duke, UNC, Nova and Kansas. Anomalies are going to happen every once in a while (similar to 2011)

Blah blah blah…
Anyone complaining is doing so because they don’t think G5 type programs belong competing with the “big boys”.
I don’t watch basketball of any level. I’ve watched maybe two whole halves so far this year. I’ll watch this next round because programs like FAU and SDSU are still in the mix.

Yep. It would be great if conference tourneys were eliminated and then each round could be best of 3.
