Final Four Preview

Well, my bracket is totally busted (that happened fairly quickly), but I will still make my predictions amongst the final four teams. I feel that even I can pick 3 games correctly,right? Right?

Let's get started with the National Semifinals on Saturday:

Georgetown vs. Ohio State

This is a great matchup between Georgetowns' technical "Princeton offense" and the Buckeyes slashing guards and big man Greg Oden. Oden has been in foul trouble all tournament, but yet OSU has found ways to win. The Hoyas remarkable comeback against UNC last week was one of the best games in NCAA Tourney history, and the effecient offense John Thompson III runs puts a lot of pressure on the defensive team.

PICK: Georgetown 68 Ohio State 61

UCLA vs. Florida

A rematch of last years Championship Game,which the gators won easily by 16.Afflalo and the Bruins should have revenge on their minds Saturday night. Unfortunately for UCLA, the Gators starting 5 from a year ago is back,and they want to be the first team to repeat as NCAA Champions since 1992.Florida has too much talent,IMO.

PICK: Florida 73 UCLA 63

CHAMPIONSHIP:

I think the Gators run into this years' team of destiny.25 years after UNC beat Georgetown in one of the best title games in history,Georgetown will win the title. The regimented offense and stern defense of John Thompson III is too much for the Gators. Hoyas win a thriller.

PICK: Georgetown 69 Florida 65
