Mid-Season Final Four Predictions


This year's first Final Four Predictions only features one unanimous team in the predictions.  That is the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats.  According to Bradley Stewart the Wildcats are the "best team Calapari may have ever coached.  9 High School All-Americans!  That makes 80% of their second line the best high school players in the country."  One shocking thing was that the other undefeated team the Virginia Cavaliers, contained no votes for the Final Four.  Joe, when asked, "Why not Virginia?" he responded, "I don't see three teams from the ACC in the Final Four."  That just shows how good of a conference the ACC is.  Virginia would have been in both Bradley Stewart's and Joe Smeltzer's picks had it been the Final Five.  Duke shockingly has two votes.  Joe says they "are the two most talented teams."  When asked about Kansas he responded "I just have a feeling."  
UNC also have two votes.  Bradley Stewart says, "UNC has played most of the season hampered with injuries and Marcus Paige hasn't been himself.  By March, they should be healthy and Paige should be back to normal."  
But remember by March things will change and there are always upsets and cinderellas.
