Leading up to the Final Four game times the NCAA has been hinting to the fact that next year they may expand the number of teams in the tournament to 96. This would essentially put an end to the NIT Tournament with the NCAA basically absorbing those teams. It still has to be approved, but it looks like it could be a possibility. The week also saw Ohio State’s Evan Turner receive the AP player of the year award and Coach Boeheim of Syracuse, receive the coach of the year award. There have been other awards given out throughout the week leading up to game play starting tonight.
By the end of the Final Four game times tonight, the two teams that will be going to the NCAA championship game will be determined. This game will be played Monday evening in Indianapolis. If you look at the many predictions that are being made by analysts and experts, you will see that each of these games are just about evenly matched. It would also be safe to say that there are many that are rooting for the underdog, Butler that has never made it this far in an NCAA tournament. They will have to not only rely on the hometown fans, but will have to pull out every stop in order to beat strongMichigan State team. Duke and West Virginia will go head-to-head in what should be a very physical game. Tonight is the night that we have all been waiting for in a tournament that has been filled with expected results, and many surprises.
