NCAA Final Four - Only 4 Teams left Standing

      The Final Four is now set as the 4 teams will make their way to New Orleans. The Final Four is made up of the following; #2 seed Duke out of the West, #8 seed North Carolina from the East, #1 seed Kansas out of the MidWest and #2 seed Villanova from the South Region. As the dust has settled in the past 2 weekends of games, 60 teams have been eliminated and these 4 teams are still standing.
     Kansas is the favorite to win it all, but I have Duke claiming the National Championship.  North Carolina is the surprise team of the Tournament so far and has looked like the team to beat and Villanova is playing great Basketball but lost one of its top players in the Elite Eight..

• So will Coach K win and make it to the Title Game on Monday?
  

• Will North Carolina continue its run and beat Duke for 2nd time in a month?
  

• Can Villanova upset Kansas without star player Justin Moore?
  

• Will Kansas the only #1 seed remaining get back to the Championship Game since 2012?

Side Notes:

•  What was Xavier thinking in hiring Sean Miller as Head Coach after the Scandal He had at Arizona?
• Why was LSU allowed to play in the NCAA Tournament knowing that the School and then HC Wade were involved in 11 NCAA Violations dating back to 2019? So may Players have entered the Transfer portal, will the School even have a competitive team for next season?
• Why is Penny Hardaway still the HC at Memphis? He was named as the only person in the NCAA Notice of Allegations which totaled 4 Level 1 and 2 Level 2 Violations!
  

     So it is Final Four time, players and fans alike are getting excited. All 4 teams have a chance to get to the Championship Game and One of them will be crowned the Winner.  Its been a long couple of weeks as many had their favorite teams beat, their Brackets busted early on and yet We all will be  watching the games on Saturday and the following Monday with baited breath.
     It has been another fantastic March Madness for Joey Baloney, the NCAA Basketball Analyst. Joey is 50-10 in the Tournament so far with the Final 3 games to go. He has 3 teams left in the Final Four.  

Final Four picks:
Duke, Kansas
