The Final Four is Set

Last day of the Elite 8 had two games in which the winners would go to the Final Four. The Midwest Regional Final had #6 Tennessee vs. #5 Michigan State. The Spartans cut it a little too close as they won by one point, 70-69. The Spartans are going to their second Final Four in a row hoping to get back to the Title Game. The second game was the South Regional Final in which #1 Duke beat #3 Baylor 78-71. Baylor played a close game throughout but just couldn't keep pace with Duke at the end.

As the weekend closes, we are down to the Final Four. The semifinal will be Butler vs. Michigan State and Duke vs. West Virginia. Each of these teams have a unique situation that I and the media will discuss in order to get ratings. Butler has practically home field advantage being in Indianapolis and it being in Lucas Oil Stadium, Michigan State has another bite at the apple for the second year in a row, Duke is the only #1 team to make it to the Final Four, and of course West Virginia hasn't won the National title ever (neither has Butler but I'm already using the home field advantage story). As to who will win it all? I don't know but I'm rooting for the Spartans.

P.S. We are so close to baseball, I can smell the Steroids.
