Final Four predictions...

Down to Four

There are four teams left in the 2013 NCAA Men's Tournament and by the end of the night...we will have our Championship game set. Both matchups should be entertaining so I suppose I'll make my predictions.

Wichita State vs. Louisville

At the start of the tourney, I picked a Louisville-Miami final...well Miami fell by the wayside but the Cardinals are in the hunt. Wichita State has had a great run and will be looking to pull off the upset. Overall I think Rick Pitino will get the Cards to the title match.

Louisville by 7

Michigan vs Syracuse

Syracuse has been brutal on defense through the tournament but were prone to lapses during the regular season. Michigan may have the answers to the Orange zone with their shooting from the outside, a decent inside game and a premier point guard. I think the Orangemen may fall just short...

Michigan by 4

Back with Championship pick in a day or so... 

Finals Series gets underway tonight...

NBL Grand Final Series Rematch up soon

The 2012-2013 NBL Grand Final series will pit Perth against New Zealand in a rematch of last seasons' title series with New Zealand seeking a third consecutive title. 

The evergreen C.J. Bruton will be the emotional leader for the Breakers and lead the charge once again. During the regular season, Perth won three of the four meetings but will start the series minus the scrappy Damian Martin who is a three time NBL Defensive Player of the year. 

Overall the series should be exciting ...prediction wise, I am predicting a close series but looking for New Zealand to pull it off.

Finals Series Prediction:

New Zealand Breakers 2-1

Sunday's Regional Finals

Last two Final Four spots available

Sunday's games could easily be mistaken for the Final Four instead of the battle to get there...let's pick 'em...

Michigan vs Florida

Both teams have strengths but both have been inconsistent at times....Florida by 9

Duke vs Louisville

Duke won early in the season but they have had big shooting games recently and if they hold to form...they are due for a let-down...Louisville by 6

Back with Final Four picks later in the week...
