Final Four: The Winners, The Losers, and Billy Donovan

One of the best times of the year is upon us with the Final Four weekend being this Saturday and all of the teams are great, making for one of the best Final Four's in recent years. I am going to give my breakdown, my prediction for the final game, and the real reason Florida will not repeat.

Florida: If there is one team I do not want to see win, its these guys. Even though I like the play of Hortford and Brewer, I cannot stand the rest of the team especially Noah. He just bothers me because he is way over the top on this whole energy shit and is sometimes the 4th best player on the court for the Gators, he acts like its all about him. Now to reason why Florida will lose to the Bruins.... Billy Donovan. I see all the talks about him going to the University of Kentucky as the ultimate distraction for these Gators. I personally wouldn't like the fact that my coach was being brought up in talks before the season even ended. When the media is talking about the Gators, the focus is on the coach, not the players.

UCLA: Not many though the Bruins could come back after dropping their last two games on the season, but man are they playing good defense. They looked damn impressive against a very explosive Kansas team who could not get the ball inside the entire game. Aaron Affalo might be playing the best out of anybody in the Final Four, he is has been stroking the ball and the perimeter D has been awesome. Matta and Mat Moute (spelling I really cannot say his name, my bad) are the true keys for them to not get in foul trouble against the Gators.

When its all said and done UCLA 67-61

OSU: First off they should be out of the tourney thanks to Xavier and the enforcer in Greg Oden. Anyways this team is resilient than anyone else and will be able to come back against almost anyone. Mike Conley is also playing some of the best ball, he does every thing for his team and rarely turns the ball over. Oden had an okay regional round, he did not do much because of foul trouble, it will be key for him to stay out of foul trouble.

GTOWN: Hoya Paranoia is back ladies and gents. I remember watching the Marquette run into the buzz saw called Gtown during February, they were just dominate. I thought their guards would not be good enough to keep up with UNC's guards, but I was wrong, they are able to keep up with anyone, which makes them damn scary. Green and Hibbert are plenty enough to win the game inside, if the guards come to play again on Saturday, GTown will beat the Buckeyes. Gtown 73-65
