Ed-itorial: Can the 2023 Final Four measure up to New Orleans?

(WGNO) — The men’s Final Four will be played Saturday in Houston.

Are you excited?

Here’s a better question – do you even know who is in it?

the first game is San Diego State against Florida Atlantic – the second is Miami against UConn.

UConn has won four national championships, the other three schools – none.

Compare that to last year, here in New Orleans – Villanova, Kansas, North Carolina and Duke have won 18 national championships.

So, I guess what I am saying is, give me the “blue blood” Final Four anytime. In the NCAA Tournament, the first rounds are about upsets.

But, in the end, I want to see the best.

We had that in New Orleans last year, including a dream semifinal – Coach K’s final game against arch-rival North Carolina.

In the incredible 50-year history of the Superdome, last April was one of its greatest.
