Final Four Predictions

As it was selection Sunday today as an avid basketball fan I feel like I should predict who I believe will reach the NCAA Final Four in April.

To begin with the South Region my prediction will be the #2 seed Syracuse. I'm going to go with Syracuse because the former number 1 overall team has hit a bit of a rough patch towards the end of the season but I think they got their losses out of the way and will have strong tournament knocking out Kansas and then Florida.

For the West region my selection will be Wisconsin. The badgers have a strong team even though losing to Michigan state in the Big 10 tournament. I'm not going to go with Arizona because I still think Oklahoma State is a sleeper pick to upset them in the third round.

In the Midwest I am predicting Louisville coming out as the winner. In my opinion I believe that the Midwest is the toughest division in this tournament. I think Russ Smith will have a killer tournament trying to repeat as champions and will beat anyone in their path.

As for the East region I think Michigan State will win. In their road to the Big 10 championship they took out two 2 seeds in this tournament and I think their region is the weakest plus they are a bit underrated as a 4 seed. Their lineup is very dangerous and they are a force to be reckoned with.

Recap:
South: Syracuse
West: Wisconsin
Midwest: Louisville
East: Michigan State
