A Few Reasons Why Kentucky-Wisconsin Could Be One of the Best Final Four Games Ever
Saturday's marquee match-up has to be between Kentucky and Wisconsin. with all due respect to the great programs of Duke and Michigan State, led by two all-time great coaches, the Kentucky-Wisconsin match-up is simply better. Not only does the game feature two of the best teams in the country, but it also provides great theater. It is a chance for Wisconsin to knock off the undefeated Wildcats team that is full of NBA talent. A chance for a great coach like Bo Ryan to upset John Calipari, with a cast of great players, but not quite an all-star studded cast like the Wildcats. Kentucky is by far the most talented team in the country, but Wisconsin may hold the best player, Frank Kaminsky. All this plus the fact that it is a rematch of last years Final Four game, a game that Kentucky won. The greatest stage in college basketball is set, and Saturday night should provide the game of the year.

Sweet 16
The Sweet 16 is set for tip off this Thursday, and the teams involved make for some great match-ups. Wichita State plays Notre Dame in the first game. Notre Dame should end Wichita's run in this game. The play of Jerian Grant should be able to lead a great offensive team to victory this week. For the rest of the Thursday games I have Wisconsin beating North Carolina, Kentucky over West Virginia, and Arizona over Xavier. On Friday UCLA plays Gonzaga, and I believe the Bruins run will come to an end. Louisville will defeat NC State, Duke will beat Utah and Michigan State will defeat Oklahoma. So by the time Saturday rolls around we will have elite eight match-ups of Kentucky-Notre Dame, Wisconsin-Arizona, Duke-Gonzaga and Louisville-Michigan State. Cannot wait for the weekends games.
