Final Four Set

The NCAA Basketball tournament has its Final Four ready to battle it out for the last two spots for the championship.

For first time in College Basketball history, all of the #1 seeds have advance to the Final Four. The four teams include the North Carolina Tar Heels, the Memphis Tigers, the Kansas Jayhawks, and the UCLA Bruins. None of these teams had an easy ride as each game in the tournament came down to the last 10 minutes of the game.

The Tar Heels seemed to have breeze by the first few rounds until facing the Louisville Cardinals. Rick Patino's Cardinals were known for their in your face defense and almost came out with the upset win against the #1 team in the nation but Carolina held them off for a 10 point win.

After there close first round game, the Memphis turn things around beating their next two opponents by an average of 18 points. With people thinking that the Texas Longhorns would advance against them in the Elite 8, the Tigers took advantage by converting on their free throws and playing tough defense as Texas shot about 36% from the field.

Kansas only had a problem with their Elite 8 round game against Davidson. The Jayhawks battled till the final seconds as they defeated Davidson and Stephen Curry's 25 points by only 2 points.

UCLA, an anticipated winner of the tournament, also turned things around after having problems in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Once being matched up against Xavier, they crushed them on the boards and finished the game shooting 54%. Kyle Love added another double-double to the season for the Bruins and plays a huge role on the team.


My Opinion: No one could have guessed that all #1 teams would advance to the Final Four since it never happened yet in history until now. Many people are anticipating the North Carolina Tar Heels and the UCLA Bruins to face each other in the tournament championship but the way this years tournament has been going, there are no gurantee's!
