2. Kentucky-Tennessee, Final Four

If the Wildcats and Volunteers make it to Minneapolis and meet in the Final Four, it would be the fourth time this season that the bitter SEC rivals square off. Each of the first three games has had a unique angle, so the fourth could be the best of all.

Tennessee was the no. 1 team in the land before Kentucky ended their 19-game winning streak with a blowout at Rupp Arena. Just two weeks later, the Volunteers returned the favor, wiping out the Wildcats in Knoxville to even the series at one.

Kentucky and Tennessee met for the third time in the SEC Tournament, with this matchup taking place on a neutral floor in Nashville. This game was an absolute classic, with both teams trading blows throughout, until Tennessee went on an 18-6 run to stun Kentucky and reach the SEC final.

Getting a fourth showdown between these two with a trip to the national championship game on the line would be absolutely awesome. In a season where the top teams have played high-level basketball, the familiarity of seeing the same team four times could lead to an all-time classic in the Final Four.
