I can't remember where, but I saw at least 1 other person pick MU in his/her Final Four.  I also saw someone pick MU as his/her "sleeper," and Matt Norlander says that if there's a team outside of the top 20 that will make a FF run it's Marquette.

A lot of those experts don't even have Duke in their final 4. I would bet after watching last nights beatdown of UK, many of them wish they could edit their picks.

No one wants to put a team led by four freshmen in the Final Four. It would go against the old mantra of needing upperclassmen to win in March. This Duke could very easily be the exception. I certainly was impressed last night.

Did Kentucky break that mantra with Anthony Davis?

No. That team was led by three freshmen and was supplemented by veterans Doron Lamb, Darius Miller, and Terrence Jones. A similar example is Duke who won it with Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor, and Justise Winslow while being supplemented by Cook, Jones, Jefferson, and Suliamon.

This Duke team is something different. I don't think there is any question that their four best players are freshmen. Jack White and Marques Bolden seem to be the 5th and 6th best players and neither has shown anything much prior to this season. White looked good last night finishing one point shy of a double double so we'll see if that continues.

Davis' Kentucky and Jones/Okafor's Duke showed that you could win it all with a lot of freshmen. This Duke team would show that you can win it all relying exclusively on freshmen.
