Final Four

This Saturday starting at 6 PM the Men's NCAA Final Four begins in Indianapolis. With ticket prices ranging from $200 to $2000, this weekend will be one college basketball fans do not want to miss. The first game starts at 6 PM with Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils taking on Mr. March himself, Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. Right now Duke has a 51% chance of winning. Lead by their star Freshman Jahlil Okafor, Duke has not disappointed this season. Even with big loses to NC State and Notre Dame in the regular season, Duke has proved to be one of the top teams in college basketball. Even when Okafor is shut down, they still have point guard Tyus Jones and 19 freshman standout Justice Winslow who helped Duke sneak past Gonzaga in the Elite 8. With all this said, Coach Tom Izzo of the Spartans has proved that once he enters the month of March, he does not like to lose. The Spartans are the only non #1 seed in the Final Four. They started off as a 7 seed and battled their way to the top.
At 8:30 PM, two #1 seeds battle it out for a chance at the championship. Undefeated Kentucky takes on #1 seed Wisconsin for what could be the game of the year so far. Kentucky was able to fight off a very talented Notre Dame team who probably gave Kentucky their biggest scare of the year. Karl Anthony Towns was unstoppable down low and in the end it was Andrew Harrison this time who came through with two free throws to put the Wildcats up by 2 with only seconds left on the clock. Wisconsin beat Arizona in another nail biter. Sam Dekker came through in the end with some big threes and Frank Kaminsky was outstanding as always. This is the second consecutive year that Wisconsin has made it to the final four and they are going to be looking for a much better result than last year.
