Brad Stevens will get an opportunity for redemption this weekend that few mid-majors get to experience.

Leading off

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more talk about reseeding the field once the Final Four arrived. I figured that having the blue bloods playing on one side and the upstarts on the other would spark some debate.

But I'm glad it didn't. It makes today's games more compelling and guarantees that there'll be an underdog playing for a title Monday night.

Fearless prediction:

UConn over Kentucky, Butler over VCU

What to look forward to today:

More VCU magic? We can only hope.

Question I don't know the answer to:

Which One Shining Moment are they using?

Kemba Walker = Danny Manning?

Lots of great coverage of the event in today's Washington Post.

Buzzer beaters:

NC State hasn't hired a coach yet which tells you the Wolfpack is hoping to back up the truck for Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens. Missouri probably too. It'll be interesting to see who either school turns to if that patience doesn't pay off.

...9 hours til VCU-Butler...
