Final Four Predictions

 
It's the final weekend in college basketball and the one everyone has been waiting for. It's Final Four weekend in New Orleans and I'm gonna give you my predictions for this weekend's games. 

Louisville vs Kentucky: Kentucky won their meeting earlier this season at a 69-62 clip at the time when Louisville was ranked 4th in the country. There is no secret, Kentucky is the best team in this tournament and it's their tournament to lose. Louisville isn't a great team, they're just a very good team that's hot right now. However, Kentucky has six guys who are going to play in the NBA. That means they have a guy coming off the bench who's gonna play in the NBA. It's gonna be closer than people think, but Kentucky wins and moves on to the national championship Monday night. 

Ohio State vs Kansas: Another rematch from an early season game in which Kansas won 78-67. However, Ohio State was playing that game without the man they call Jared Sullinger. Tyshawn Taylor has been playing lights out for Kansas who has been the best team that no one is talking about but I think with Sullinger back he'll be too much on the inside for them to handle. Plus the fact that Ohio State has three guys who can score. Ohio State moves to the title game. 

National Championship: Kentucky vs Ohio State
In a game that features the two best big men in the country in Anthony Davis and Jared Sullinger we should expect a pretty good game. Ohio State has to capitalize on the emotional advantage they'll have just for the sheer fact that Kentucky had to play a rival in the semi finals. Even with that, it'll be close early but in the second half Kentucky runs and pulls away. They are the best team in the tournament and they finally prove it Monday night. Kentucky wins the national championship.
