Previewing the Final Four

Four teams remain after another great weekend of college basketball. Let's take a look at the Final Four matchups.

(5) Butler vs. (5) Michigan State
Butler is in a similar position that the Spartans were in last year, playing in front of a hometown crowd. Butler topped Kansas State in their regional final, and beat Syracuse in their semifinal. Michigan State beat Tennessee in the Midwest Regional Final. Overall I think Butler will advance to their first national title appearance.

(1) Duke vs. (2) West Virginia
The one final four matchup that many predicted features top seeded Duke against the second seeded West Virginia. The Blue Devils topped Baylor in their region, and West Virginia knocked off Kentucky, who was a national contender. I think Duke advances to take on Butler in the championship game.
