The final weekend of the college basketball season is now set: South Region champ Duke will square off with the winners of the East Region, Michigan State, in Saturday’s openers, while West Region champ Wisconsin will try to end Midwest Region champ Kentucky’s bid for an undefeated season. And Indianapolis will be, in a word, insane. Let’s start with the obvious: Kentucky is trying to become the first team to even go 40-0 in a season while becoming the first undefeated champion since Indiana in 1976. It gets better, because the only team that’s not a No. 1 seed is Michigan State, the “underdog” No. 7 seed coached by Tom Izzo. Izzo has set a record for career NCAA Tournament wins when being the lower-seeded team, and it would be Peak Izzo for him to manage to win the national title in this Final Four. If Coach K beats Tom Izzo and gets to Monday night’s title game, he will have a chance to win his fifth national title as a head coach, a number that will put him second of all time. On the other side of the bracket, we get the Wisconsin-Kentucky matchup that we’ve all wanted to see. The Badgers have the makeup to pick off the Wildcats, especially if Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker play the way they did this weekend. Next Saturday, Duke will face Michigan State in the first semifinal. In the next game, top seed Kentucky will battle Wisconsin. The winners will meet on Monday, April 6, for the national championship. Igor, Alex, Jarrett, and Gabe are joined by Dan Carney, as we will breakdown these four games and give our predictions.
