Saturday's Notes

The pretenders all gone, the Final Four is down to four seriously tough teams.

It'll take some time to know for sure, but our guess is that Tyler Lewis couldn't have done better than to pick Butler as his new school.

He should be a perfect fit.

Looks like the Indianapolis paper thinks so too.

So we're going along thinking about settling down to watch the Final Four on CBS tonight, but: no.

The games, for whatever reason, will be locked away on TNT, TBS and Tru, all with different announcing teams.

So far we've watched a fair amount online and if it holds up, we'll do it Saturday too.

It's really hard to figure this one out. This year's tournament has been so unpredictable.

It's really hard to pick against Florida at this point, but don't forget that UConn was the last team to beat the Gators and Kentucky nearly pulled it off.

Championships always require greatness. This time, it may require an extra dose.  And nobody seems to be giving Minnesota a chance. Not even us, since we called Wisconsin Minnesota.

There's a real advantage to being perceived as the least powerful team here: if you can get ahead late, the game pressure on the other team is intense. And we're not sure if that would be Wisconsin or UConn - but both are a step behind Florida and Kentucky, or at least generally seen to be.
