2009 Final Four Picks

Saturday, April 4

#2 vs. #1 5:07 PM CT CBS

My pick: Michigan State

After dominating top seed Louisville in the Midwest Region Final, the Spartans are flying high and ecstatic to be playing virtual home games at Ford Field in Detroit. The Connecticut Huskies disposed of the relatively weak West Region, beating Missouri to advance. Both teams have great defenses, and don't expect a ton of points in this one. It comes down to Michigan State controlling Hasheem Thabeet, and keeping him out of the game. If it comes down to a game of guards, I like Michigan State's Kalin Lucas over UConn's AJ Price.

#3 vs. #1 7:47 PM CT CBS

My pick: North Carolina

Villanova is a dangerous team. After taking down East Region powers #2 Duke and #1 Pitt to advance, this team is clicking at the right time. However, they have run into the wrong team this time. North Carolina, the preseason #1 team has looked like it against Xavier and Oklahoma in the South Region. With Ty Lawson healthy, the depth of talent on the Tar Heels cannot be matched by the Wildcats.
