Sportscenter had a cute clip yesterday that was a montage of 6 analysts (including Dickie V and Bilas)picking Kentucky to win the game, then at the end showed the Courant with the "BELIEVE IT!" headline, and the Sportscenter guy said "Whoops! Missed that one!".
Well on the ESPN crew, the morning of the game they asked for predictions, and I think Bilas and Greenberg said things along the lines of "I like UConns small guards to disrupt kentucky's freshman, and blah blah blah, so of course I'm going with the Wildcats to win". Seemingly playing up the fact that they had all picked against us the entire tourney and we won, so us fans wanted them to continue to pick against us and keep the mojo going. the last 2 guys who made their picks both talked all about UConn and then finished their part up by saying "so obviously, I'm going with Kentucky"
