The Final Four is here! Four teams have made the journey to Houston and are ready to do battle to become national champions! On one side we have Uconn and Kentucky; two programs with big history (9 combined titles), big coaches, and big players. On the other side, there are the Cinderellas VCU and Butler.
VCU v. Butler
This is the lowest combined seeding in the Final Four ever! This battle of Cinderellas will be action packed and one of the best games in the tourney. VCU has used early scoring and tough defense to make their run. I expect this to continue along with some good transition scoring. It won’t last for long though. The Butler Bulldogs will slowly force VCU to take contested jump shots. By the second half, Butler will take over the game. The experience they had with last year’s run will take hold and win this game. VCU is sure to keep it close so watch out for a nail biter!
Butler 71 VCU 68
Kentucky v. Uconn
These two perennial power houses meet for the second time this year. Uconn was able to prevail in their earlier meeting in Maui 84-67. This Kentucky team led by star guard Brandon Knight has gone through a lot of growth since then, but so has Uconn. Arguably two of the hottest teams in the NCAA right now, this game is going to be a barn burner. Kemba Walker and Brandon Knight will light up both ends of the court. The team that finds victory will have a great game from their role players. I believe that Uconn will have an overall better team performance and win in a final second situation.
Uconn 89 Kentucky 87
Butler v. Uconn for all the marbles on April 4th!
Thanks for reading!
