Four teams will be heading to Detroit next weekend in hope of claiming the 2009 NCAA Championship. We have to apologize to second seeded Michigan St for putting them at the bottom of our list in our last post. They dominated play against Louisville and now stand a chance to cut down the nets in their home state next Monday. Their talent may still be inferior to that of the other three teams remaining, but they could get a boost from the crowd if Michigan St fans can get their hands on enough tickets.
Joining them are number one seeds Connecticut and North Carolina, who took care of business throughout their regions, and third seeded Villanova, who advanced by knocking off Pittsburgh in the game of the tournament thus far.
At this stage in March Madness, each team has a great chance to win it all (it only takes putting two quality games together). Having said that, it would be a little surprising to see either Villanova or Michigan St win, considering the pedigree of the UConn and UNC rosters.
Vote in the Academics on Athletics poll on the right hand side to let us know who you think will come away with the title.
