68 teams were invited to the NCAA tournament this season, and only 4 remain. All four of these teams are very deserving and have worked very hard to get here. The winners of tonight's games will move onto the National Championship that will take place on Monday. Let's get into what I think will happen in tonight's games.
#1 Duke vs. #7 Michigan State
Duke was expected by a lot of people to be here, while the same cannot be said about Sparty. But Tom Izzo and his squad have knocked off giants in Virgina, Oklahoma and Lousiville to get here. The Spartans have solid guard play, led by Denzel Valentine, but I think that Duke will overpower MSU inside, as Jalihl Oakfor is arguably the best big man in the country. As has been the case many times before, Oakfor will propel Duke to victory.
Winner : Duke
#1 Kentucky vs. #1 Wisconsion
This is the matchup that I'm sure a lot of people had taking place in their bracket and I know that this is the game I wanted to see. It will be very close, and is a very hard game to predict. However, I'm going to have to go with Kentucky, do to their toughness and depth. As good as Frank Kaminsky is, he will be seeing 2 big men that are better than any he has faced all year besides Oakafor, in Karl Anthony Towns and Wille-Caully Stien. Kaminsky was not effective against Oakfor, and although I expect Towns and Stien to nerur lose him just enough to win it for UK. The Wildcats have the best defensive team in the land, and Wisconsion will not shoot like they did against Arizoka against them. So, I think 39-0 will become a reality.
Winner: Kentucky
