However, if there is one silver lining for the rest of us, its that we all have one team remaining. And on top of that, we all get an individual crack at bringing down this mighty Bullock empire.
Matchup #1: Marquette vs. Syracuse(Jimmy)
Last year was the first time Jimmy had a champion. In order to repeat, Syracuse has to start by beating a scrappy Marquette team. A Marquette team that has gotten better every round thus far. Its a miracle they survived the Davidson game, but they capitalized and find themselves knocking on the door of the Final Four.
Matchup #2: Wichita St. vs. Ohio St.(Daschel)
The common belief here is that Ohio St. will win and head to the Final Four. However, Wichita St. is a tough minded team, and won't be intimidated. You combine that with Ohio St's penchant for playing close, grind-it-out games, and this could very well come down to the final possession.
Matchup #3: Michigan vs. Florida(Cach)
Florida has gotten to this point by beating Northwestern St, Minnesota, and Florida Gulf Coast. Not exactly a murderer's row. Michigan, on the other hand is riding high after a comeback victory over #1 seed Kansas. If Florida does lose, it will mark the 3rd year in a row that Cach hasn't had a team in the Final Four.
Matchup #4: Louisville vs. Duke(J Meyer)
James will be looking to get back to the Final Four, a spot he has reached every year since 2007. While it has only translated to one champ, its still a streak worth preserving. Standing in his way is the daunting task of beating this Louisville team.
WINS:
Bullock - 19
Jimmy - 12
Daschel - 11
Cach - 8
Meyer - 7
