Will the Champs Game be Compelling?

Most of the writers on ESPN.com have chosen Florida as their favorite to win the National Championship of the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.  The Gators are the defending champions, and will be taking on UCLA on Saturday in the Final Four.
 

Because there are only four teams left, the possibilities are  limited for a championship game.  If you’re like me, and thought the Oregon Ducks and Memphis Tigers would be in the Final, then these games don’t matter in your bracket pool.  All you can hope for is a good game, and wait until next year to win back your money.
 

So which combination would be the best for a good Final?  The Final Four games both have their storylines. The Bruins are trying to get revenge in a rematch of the 2006 champ’s game.  And two true centers, Oden and Hibbert, will battle in the Ohio State-Georgetown game. 
 

The Finals, whoever plays, will probably lack as good of a storyline as the two games on Saturday.  For me, though, Florida-Ohio State sounds like a good game to watch.  If Oden can handle Hibbert on Saturday, then he might have a tougher time against the Gators’ duo of big men, Joakim Noah, and Al Horford.
