Final Four

Who would’ve expected a final four like this? No number one seeds, an eleventh seed and an eighth seed. Eleventh seed Virginia Commonwealth will face eighth seed Butler in one of the Final Four matchups. The other will be played between fourth seeded Kentucky Wildcats against the third seeded UConn Huskies. No one anticipated Butler making it back to the Final Four after losing their top player to the NBA last year and being seeded so low in their region. They lost 7 out of their last 11 conference games to end the season so no one really anticipated clutch performances by the Butler Bulldogs when crunch time rolls around allows them to advance to the Final Four in back to back seasons.

                Virginia Commonwealth is the biggest surprise in all of March Madness this season. The eleventh seeded VCU Rams will Face the Butler bulldogs in their Final Four matchup which should be a great game given the circumstances, and adrenaline from all of the players. This is the lowest seeded Final Four game in NCAA tournament history. Combined, their seeds equal 19, before this game, the highest was only 14, surpassing that by 5.

                Kentucky Wildcats are the fourth seed in their region and knocked off number one Ohio State Buckeyes and number two UNC Tar Heels to reach their Final Four. The crazy thing about Kentucky is the amount of nails biters that they have been in this years tournament, which allowed their stand-out freshman guard Brandon Knight to really shine. UConn has their own stand-out point guard, Kemba Walker. Walker has lead the Huskies to five wins in five days to win the Big East Championship. Now he has taken his game to a whole nother level in order to bring his Huskies to the Final Four. I always have to root for the underdogs, GO VCU!
