Final Four could be best we've seen

This Final Four has the makings of something special. Now let's just hope the cooks don't spoil the meal. Kansas, UCLA and North Carolina are three of the most storied college basketball programs. And Memphis ain't no slouch.

It's the first time all four No. 1 seeds have advanced to the Final Four. North Carolina has won 15 straight, UCLA 14, KU and Memphis 11.

There's something for everyone in this Final Four, the most star-studded since North Carolina, Michigan, Kansas and Kentucky played in the 1993 Final Four in New Orleans .

This isn't just about the teams, either. There are 12 former McDonald's All-Americans on the rosters.

Too often, the Final Four feels anti-climactic to what has gone on the first two weeks of the tournament. Not this time.

This should be one of the most exciting Final Fours in history, but there have been others. You'll notice there's not much in recent history. We could really use a memorable Final Four, and I think we'll get one.
