Butler vs Michigan State

On one side of the bracket it is the Butler Bulldogs and the Michigan State Spartans. The only difference between the two is this is first time Butler is in the Final Four, but for Michigan State they were here last year. Even though Michigan State has the experience, Butler has played better and beating the 1 and 2 seeds Syracuse and Kansas State. With the play of Hayward and Mack at the point this team is really hard to beat. With Michigan State, they have the great play of Morgan, Summers, and Lucious to stop the two superstars on Butler. I believe this game is going to come down to the wire, but in the end I think the championship game will be the Butler Bulldogs vs. the Duke Blue Devils.

Final Four

The Final Four is set. Four teams are headed to Indianapolis: #1 Duke, #2 West Virginia, #5 Michigan State, and #5 Butler. Three number one seeds and two number two seeds are out. What are your thoughts on the teams this year in the final four? The cinderellas - Saint Mary's, Northern Iowa and Cornell are now out - so no more dreaming, as is the overall top seed in the tournament - Kansas - gone in the 2nd round. Even though this is the first time since 2004 that Duke has reached the Final Four, I believe Duke has the best shot to win it all because of the great coaching by Coach K, the outstanding playing of Nolan Smith, Jon Scheyer, and Kyle Singler. These three have carried this team throughout the season and the tournament. Finally, Duke is my choice simply because I think they are the hungriest team out there - but that's just my opinion. What's yours?
