I think this may be one of the best, and most entertaining, Final Four’s in a long time.  With that said, let’s get to the picks.

South Region Champion (1) North Carolina v Midwest Region Champion (5) Clemson

The Tar Heels are the best team in this tournament in my opinion.  They have everything it takes to be the National Champion this year from the players to the coaches.  Clemson has had a great run to this point, but this is where it ends.

North Carolina Tar Heels move on to the National Championship game.

South Region Champion (4) Pitt v West Region Champion (1) UCLA

 Two very good, very talented teams with reason to win.  When it comes right down to it, the Bruins are the better team.  Remember Jim Nance’s quote from the 1994 National Championship game (UCLA v Arkansas)?  “There was a Wizard in the stands and magic on the court.”  That Wizard was the greatest coach in NCAA History, Mr. John Wooden.  That Wizard will continue to make an impact on the Bruins and their run to hang another banner in Westwood.  UCLA moves on to face North Carolina in the National Championship game.

THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME on April 7th

(1) North Carolina Tar Heels        v       (1) UCLA Bruins

In a game that will get high ratings than even the Super Bowl, the North Carolina Tar Heels will face the UCLA Bruins for the National Championship on April 7th, 2008.  Both teams just 1 game away from hanging another banner, to add to their basketball greatness, to show the World that they are the best team in the land.  Who will be the strongest team on this day?  I’m rooting hard for UCLA and I think they have everything it takes to win their 1st National Title since 1994, but North Carolina is too strong and too fast.
