Battles between titans are always filled with their share of anticipation, but rarely do the opponents bring in so much shared history as in the Final Four slugfest-to-be that is Kansas vs. North Carolina. Besides giving college sports fans one of the greatest championship games in history in 1957 when the Tarheels defteated Wilt Chamberlin and the Jayhawks 54-53 in triple overtime, the entwined history of these two powerhouses that follows should lead to one of the most anticipated Final Four matchups in history.

nce, Kansas, 1988 seems like a century ago.
For this 2008 NCAA tournament, I'm picking Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks to capture the school's first national title in twenty years. Throughout this whole season, there has just been something about this club that truly makes me believe they have the goods to take their show to Texas for Final Four. And unlike that heartbreaker against Syracuse in '03, KU is going to bring back the coveted crown to Lawrence.
