2027...The Big Dance

Is tomorrow in Indianapolis which, btw, is the first city to have a local team in the tourney since UCLA played at home back in '72.

The local team playing in the Final Four is Butler, who are painted as a cinderella but have been ranked all season have won about 30 games in a row. The other three teams are last year's finalist the Michigan State Spartans, West Virginia and the hated Duke Blue Devils.

Game one, at 6 07 Saturday night, has Butler playing Michigan State; game two is a half an hour after that game ends, around quarter to nine with Duke playing West Virginia.

This is the most even tourney in years, perhaps ever. Even though Duke is a number one and West Virgina a two seed, no one team is a consensus champion. The team that was the consensus champion, Kansas University Jayhawks, are back in Lawrence studying for exams.

Yeah, that's right. Studying.
