With the final four approaching this Saturday, a lot of people don’t know what team to root for, because the teams that were expected to go to the championship (Kansas and Kentucky) are already out.

Number five seeds Butler and Michigan St. will be playing each other in the final four, two teams that weren’t expected to make it this far. I wouldn’t count them out, especially not Butler; they’re a big underdog but they come to play every game. Butler’s offense is going to be the key to them winning the game.  Number two seed West Virginia will play number one seed Duke. That’s a good match; expect West Virginia to come out ready to play as well. I think they have a good chance of beating Duke, especially if they play the way they did against Kentucky.

I think in the championship game it will be Butler against West Virginia. Look out for Butler’s key players Matt Howard, Gordon Hayward to help them make it to the championship. Da’sean Butler and Joe Mazulla will help lead West Virginia to the championship.
