Final Four Predictions

Kentucky Vs Wisconsin

Kentucky is coming into this matchup as one of the deepest teams in the league. Every guy from top on down could start for another team easily, which is why this team has remained dominant all season. It hasn’t been easy though and they’ve definitely had some close calls, but what team doesn’t on their way to a Championship? This matchup is going to be a tough one for Kentucky because Wisconsin matches up well against them. Wisconsin is a fast paced, high scoring team, with big guys who can dominate the paint and can also get you on the defensive side. The problem is I still don’t think they are deep enough to compete with Kentucky. There is a reason why Kentucky has remained undefeated thus far and I don’t see that coming to an end this week. Any guy at any time can step up on Kentucky and even when a guy is having a down game there is another to step in and pick up where he left off. They just have too much fire power to overcome and if I’ve learned anything throughout the years of watching the tournament is that Wisconsin tends to choke in the big moment so we’ll see how they can handle this one.

Kentucky over Wisconsin 68-65

 

Michigan State Vs Duke

It seems no matter what happens during the regular season that some how some way these two teams end up getting into the Final Four. Two of the greatest coaches in college basketball history are facing off and will have a tough task ahead of them. Tom Izzo is probably having one of the best coaching seasons of his career considering that this team basically backed their way into the tournament. They weren’t expected to do anything and then of course there are The Spartans back into The Final Four fighting their way to a Championship. Duke has really stepped it up all season and seem to have grown stronger as the season has gone on. This should be a good matchup from a coaching stand point, but outside of that I feel like overall Duke is the far superior team and if this turns into a shoot out then Michigan State is in trouble. Michigan State gets really sloppy once they have to start shooting a lot, Duke does not have this problem. Not only can the Blue Devils kill you on the offensive side, but they will get at you defensively and this is where I think they will have the edge over The Spartans. 

Duke over Michigan State 71-63
