Looks to be a great rematch of last years elite eight. Thoughts?

I feel like Arizona isn't quite as good as last year without Gordon and Wisconsin is slightly better. That said, I looked back at the box score from last year and Gordon didn't play that well, anyway. Kaminsky went absolutely nuts. On edit, I forgot that Brandon Ashley didn't play.

West coast advantage could carry Arizona, but I just don't see them winning here. Wisconsin is a way smarter team and it's going to show up over the course of 40 minutes.

Hoping for AZ (I picked them), but Wisky is obviously incredible. Glad this is the first game today

Wisconsin has one of the larger alumni bases in the country and travel well on top of it. They won't have the numbers of Arizona in Los Angeles, but there will be a large contingent of Cardinal Red in the crowd.

I am (obviously) more nervous about this game than I was about UNC. Arizona is good and has the horses to make life difficult for Wisconsin's front line.

It was great to see Trae Jackson back in the lineup on Thursday and hit his first shot, on his first attempt, in more than two months.

One thing to keep in mind is that Wisconsin is tops in the country (at least in the major conferences) with a 35-7 (.833) record in road/neutral games over the past two seasons. This team is very talented, but very experienced. We'll see if both can propel them to their second straight Final Four.

On, Wisconsin!

Pulling for Wisconsin, but I think the revenge factor pulls Zona through.

It is necessary for Wisconsin to lose to Gonzaga in the finals for me to win my bracket. So I'm picking them

Can't wait for this game. Should be a great matchup. Should be a final four game.

What is Arizona usually good at? Haven't seen them play at all this year, but they look horrible. I realize they're just playing bad, but nothing about them is impressive.

Sean Miller is a barely functioning retard. The reason college basketball is borderline unwatchable is because the end-game coaching is attrocious.

Arizona showed major vulnerability when they squeaked by Xavier in a game that was much closer than this game was (despite Gumbel calling it a "dandy")
Az's lack of conference competition probably hurts.
