Final Four 2015 Schedule: TV Info, Live Stream and NCAA Tournament Picks

With four storied college basketball programs, legendary coaches and countless future NBA players in action, the 2015 NCAA Final Four could be one for the ages. It could also prove to be a bit of a letdown from a competitive standpoint.

As much as we'd love to see two close national semifinals games, I don't believe the Kentucky Wildcats or the Duke Blue Devils will have much trouble advancing to the national championship.

Check out the viewing information for the national semifinals.

Why Kentucky Will Win

If there was one word to describe Kentucky's greatest advantage over the Wisconsin Badgers you could be torn between depth and athleticism. For the sake of narrowing it down, we'll go with the former. Apparently, Badgers coach Bo Ryan knows the "d" word could be an issue as well. Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel quoted the coach in this tweet:

With a wealth of 7-footers, the Wildcats are simply too big and deep in their frontcourt for Wisconsin. When you also consider that every Kentucky big is an NBA-level athlete, the advantage is taken to another level.

Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky is a gamer, but Kentucky literally has four above-average defenders with tremendous length that it can throw at him. Willie Cauley-Stein, Karl-Anthony Towns, Trey Lyes and Dakari Johnson have the necessary length and athleticism to wear Kaminsky and the Badgers' bigs down.

In order to stay in this game in the second half, Wisconsin must shoot the ball well from three-point range. That's easier said than done because of the way Kentucky closes out on opponent's three-point shots. There's a reason teams are shooting just 26.7 percent against Kentucky from long range this season.

The Wildcats will pull away for a double-digit win in the second half.

Why Duke Will Win

The Blue Devils will have a slightly tougher time taming Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans, but in the end, frontcourt size will play a major role in this matchup as well. It wouldn't be surprising to see Duke's 7'0" junior Marshall Plumlee get a little more than his normal 9.6 minutes per game. 

The Spartans already have no answer defensively for Jahlil Okafor on the block. Another big would make controlling the glass all the more difficult for the Spartans.

Michigan State's Branden Dawson will be expected to play a significant role defensively, but at 6'6" he'll likely be overmatched against any Duke frontcourt player aside from possibly Amile Jefferson.

A key statistic to watch in this one is foul shooting. Duke only makes 69 percent of its attempts, but the Spartans are even worse. They make just 63 percent, and that could cost them dearly in this one.

In any case, Duke is my pick to win by 10-12 points.
