Final Four Predictions

Semifinals

The Commonwealth of Kentucky will be jumping tomorrow night but by about 9:00, only the fans of the Wildcats will be enjoying grandpa's moonshine because John Calipari's team is going to roll over Louisville.  Tough weekend for Cardinals coach Rick Pitino, who learned he will not be enshrined into the Hall of Fame earlier today.

In the nightcap, Kansas' Thomas Robinson will be too much for Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and the Jayhawks will return to the title game for the first time since winning the national championship in 2008.  Buckeyes fans faces will be longer than Thad Matta's nose after the loss.

Final

Despite what the NCAA says about John Calipari, this is his fourth trip to the Final Four (with his third different school) and on Monday night he will ride the performances of Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Terrence Jones, and the rest of the Kentucky juggernaut to his first national title.  I hope that his former UMass and Memphis stars can enjoy Cal's moment in the spotlight.

All Final Four Team

C - Anthony Davis, Kentucky
F - Thomas Robinson, Kansas
F - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kentucky
G - Tyshawn Taylor, Kansas
G - Marquis Teague, Kentucky

MOP - Anthony Davis, Kentucky
