NCAA down to four!!
The 2014 NCAA tourney is down to it's final four teams and way back at the start I had a Final Four of Florida, Virginia, Wisconsin and Louisville in my Bracket Predictions. Well two out of four with my championship picks alive isn't bad I suppose.
OK...let's predict Saturday's games:
Florida (1) vs UConn (7)
Ok, here we go, UConn has been the latest buzz "team of destiny" and they persevered until now with the good fortune of a few games close to home in Madison Square Garden. There is also a lot of hype about their win over Florida waaayyy back in December.
Yes UConn has been on a great run similar to their last title run of a few years ago but Florida has been on a mission. Also factor in the UConn win over the Gators was on the Huskies' home court. Well to keep my title game picks intact...I have to pick the Gators....but would have probably picked them regardless!!
Florida by 8
Wisconsin (2) vs Kentucky (8)
Here we go with another Kentucky one and done crew that is mega talented. Wisconsin meanwhile has a solid team thatt has a couple of years maturity under their belts.
Opinions on the "one and done" phenomenon vary widely so I will not go into my own diatribe on the topic at the moment. Rather just stick to picking the game. The atmosphere will be daunting for even the most seasoned players let alone five or so freshmen on the court at once. The key will be how quickly the young Wildcats can bounce back from any lulls.
Wisconsin will be relentless in their attack and will rebound with reckless abandon. Look for my picks of a Florida-Wisconsin final to come true at the end of this one!!
Wisconsin by 5
Enjoy the games and good luck to all....
