ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What two teams do you think will play in the NCAA championship basketball game?"

Dave Mirly, Jackson

"I think Kansas and Kentucky because I think they are the two best teams, and they've got momentum going into the tournament."

Laurie Rueter, Nashville, Ill.

"North Carolina and Kentucky because they both have experience. And I like North Carolina."

Chad Anderson, Arnold

"Kansas and Kentucky because they're both playing tough right now. I think Kentucky will get there because of their defense, and Kansas is just an overpowering team that's been successful all year."

Travis Smith, Cape Girardeau

"Kansas and Kentucky. I think Kansas will win because Kansas is playing really well right now. They've got a good team."

Jim Taylor, New Madrid

"I'll say Kentucky. Kentucky and Kansas. Kansas is just incredible. Jacques Vaughn can run the show. He's just a hell of a point guard. Kentucky ... the reason they'll win it is because they just run you to death."
