Four nearly nauseating days of build up are in the books. The long awaited tournament recap is nearly upon us. I am stoked for this match up. Everyone is stoked about this game. As well they should be. A trip to the elite 8 is at stake. If that wasn't enough there is 50 years of bad blood and mixed messages and understandings. Those 50 years will have no impact on this game. But it is one of many storylines will be played out tonight. And I couldn't be more excited about it. Charts and gamethread are on offer after the jump. As ever, Go Bearcats
