Texas will win; bank on it.
Why the Longhorns will win it: Despite not playing his best basketball, T.J. Ford was in complete command throughout the South Regional, with 19 assists and only three turnovers. Brandon Mouton is becoming more assertive as a scorer, and the bevy of big men are succeeding at clogging the lane and dissuading opponents' penetration.
What could stop them: UT will be challenged by the Syracuse zone, but unlike Oklahoma, Texas will have a full week to prepare for it. An obvious problem awaits in the final: Texas' suspect (at best) transition defense could be shredded by Marquette or Kansas.
Odds: 3:1
Why the Jayhawks could win: The only team with players who have been here before is Kansas. Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich are experienced, intelligent and extremely gifted offensively. Kansas has the ability to outrun every remaining team.
Why they won't: Kansas remains susceptible to perimeter screens and still is dangerously thin inside. A good defensive team that limits touches for the two senior stars can slow the Jayhawks' offensive production.
Odds: 4:1
