And Then There Were Four

There are four teams left in college basketball, but only one will come back home with being able to say that they won the 2011 National Title. The two powerhouses, UCONN and Kentucky, will battle for a spot in the title game. In the other side of the bracket, you have the Cinderella Story VCU, facing off with the up and rising Butler Bulldogs. I will start breaking down the UCONN/Kentucky matchup first. In this contest, you have two teams with a historic past. Both teams have coaches that will do whatever they can to win. Both teams have underrated defenses. In the end, I like Kentucky to get the win. In the Butler/VCU battle, you have two of the best young coaches. They will use whatever they can to motivate their team. Butler will have to stop VCU three point shooting in order to move on. I love what Shaka Smart has done for his team, but it will come to an end on Saturday. In the title I have Butler redeeming itself over Kentucky. There are lots of questions remaining. Who will rise to the occasion? Who will fall? Down below are the tip-off times.
Final Four Tip Off Times
