2009 Final Four

Connecticut, North Carolina, Michigan State, and then a bevy of teams. MSU has not been talked about but I believe they will make the Final Four. When healthy, they are an elite team. Bracket willing, in a one game showdown, they could beat a team like Pittsburgh or a team like Oklahoma.

Interesting stat: No team since 2000 has lost more than two home games that season.

2000 Michigan State 14-0
2001 Duke 13-2
2002 Maryland 15-0
2003 Syracuse 17-0
2004 Connecticut 17-1
2005 North Carolina 15-0
2006 Florida 16-2
2007 Florida 16-0
2008 Kansas 19-0

That's an astonishing 142-5.

UConn lost their second home game tonight against Pitt. If they drop one more (Notre Dame may give them a game) then I won't pick them to win the national title. However if they beat ND, we can still call them a favorite.
