My Final Four Preview
If you are a gambler, ignore this post. Chances are slim that my vocalized predictions come true. I would have to say it’s a stretch that I am 50-50. That said, here is my shot at prognostication: Semi-final 1: #7 UCONN (18 in the final AP) vs #1 Florida (1 in the final AP) Connecticut should have been higher than a seven seed. They finished ranked in the top twenty which usually translates into a 4 or 5 seed. Florida is the best...
