(The Blaze/AP) One game is a grudge match between programs that know each other all too well. The other is a rematch between teams that aren’t used to meeting this often.
The Final Four is set. In one game Saturday at the Superdome in New Orleans, Kentucky will play Louisville in an intrastate rivalry that will pit Cardinals coach Rick Pitino against the school he once coached, then later alienated by returning to the Bluegrass to lead its archrival.
In the other semifinal, it will be Ohio State and Kansas, meeting for only the ninth time in their history but for the second time this season. The Jayhawks won the first game 78-67 in Lawrence, Kan., back on Dec. 10. It was the first time the teams had met since 2000.

Posted on March 25, 2012 at 11:01pmGo Jayhawks! KU has always won the national championship either during a Republican Presidency or the final year of a Democrat Presidency before the Republican wins later that year.
