Well, it’s official: There will be a Florida/Ohio State rematch, one that everyone’s hoping will be a little more suspenseful than what we watched back in January. I hope it is, because the Final Four hasn’t been very exciting thus far, making it the second year in a row that it’s falling short of tradition.

Ohio State beat a Georgetown team that looked lackadaisical at best, and Florida won a game I’m not sure anyone really thought they’d lose (I mean, think about: UCLA’s team is no better than it was last year, and Florida’s certainly isn’t worse). Which brings us to this: On one hand, you’ve got a team with a 7-foot 30 year old, an incredible freshman point guard, and a coach who continues chewing gum that lands on the basketball court. On the other hand, you’ve got a team that won the national title last year, beat your football team’s brains in (which, I might add, also was for a national title), and has a 7-foot girl who says and does really strange things.

My prediction is Florida, but I just hope it’s close. There weren’t very many upsets this year — VCU over Duke was the closest thing, and a lot of people picked that — so I’m hoping for a good final game that can cancel out the otherwise dull recent events. When it’s all said and done, I hope Greg Oden’s last collegiate game runs a little smoother than Troy Smith’s.
