How Sweet It Is!: Re-Picking the Final Four

With the first two rounds completed, it's time to take a look at the remaining field and the favorites to win the title.

Unfortunately this year, there are no true Cinderellas from mid-majors conferences so picking the champion in a tight field will be tough. I'll break it down in the best way I can to figure out who has what it takes to make it through the next two weeks.

1. UConn

No team has looked as nearly as impressive as the Huskies. After dismantling Chattanooga and Texas A & M by a combined 82 points, they appear to be on cruise control to Detroit.

Not getting through the West Region would come as a surprise to most people at this point, despite Memphis being a popular Final Four pick.

2. North Carolina

After expectingly knocking out Radford and LSU, there haven't been many surprises from the Tar Heels. With Gonzaga, Syracuse, and Oklahoma still left in the South Region, it's looking like North Carolina should reach the Final Four, but Oklahoma or Syracuse could be a very tough Elite Eight opponent.

3. Kansas

The Jayhawks had their struggles against North Dakota State, but then rallied nicely against Dayton and ended up winning comfortably. With the rest of the Midwest looking like no one else wants to win it, Kansas may sneak in and take the Regional Title.

4. Villanova

Villanova seemed like they would be bounced early by American, but played tremendously in the second half to win by double digits, then storming through UCLA without an issue.

They have to take on Duke next, then either Pitt or Xavier if they win, but the Wildcats have the talent to beat any of the three teams and take the East Region.
