Seriously
We are in four below NCAA Mains TournamentAnd fans did not ask for a better quartet playing at San Antonio to decide this year’s national champion.
All four number 1 seed managed to create a national semi-finals for the second time, the first game featured an all-second matchup between Obern and Florida on Saturday and a nightcap of Duke and Houston.
Two teams – Dukes and Obern – were number 1 in the pole for several weeks, entering the top position with Blue Devils. Both Houston and Florida became high as number 2.
The group is full of coaching and star power. The Obern is in the coach Bruce Pearl and the possible National Player of the Year Johnny Broom. Freshman Cooper Flag in Duke, the biggest competition for the Broome Award and John Sheer, who has held the program among the national elite in three years after replacing Mike Craziveski. Houston coach Calvin Sampson is in his third final fore and Kaagar is looking for his first national title. Florida has won the championship twice this century and will rely on the standout guard Walter Clayton to lead them.
So who wins these two matches on Saturday? Our experts weigh.
Jordan Mendaja: Did Obern learned from the first meeting? Both teams have been insecure during the tournament, and Johnny Broom’s health is large. Tigers lead to Haftime, but Valter Clayton gets florida in another clutch performance title game by Junior. Florida 85, Obern 80,
Paul Mairberg: This tournament has great advantage of the experience and maturity of the observance. An experienced lineup has helped the tigers to avoid harsh trials from the state of Creyon, Michigan and Michigan. Florida is a separate animal that is still facing oborn. The depth of the gates and the 3-point shooting are two huge assets as Obern Florida looks close to the basket. This is more likely to be a shootout, based on the 90–81 wins of the gates during the regular session. Florida 88, Obern 84,
Eric Smith: It sets up as a large vs. small matchup, in which Johnny Bruom is trusted with Obern and is looking for Walter Clayton Junior on Florida circumference. Yes, the gates won the regular season meeting, but the game is a completely different situation. Which team can handle a big moment pressure? Tigers may increase maturity. Obern 73, Florida 70,
Eddie Timens: At the beginning of the tournament, the gates were my picks to win the whole thing, so I am not going back to it, even though they were pushed to the brink one or two times. To say that a team reached the peak very soon, but Obern may have done the same. Florida 78, Obern 72,
Blake Topmier: Walter Clayton Junior is becoming the story of this tournament. He is a clutch, and gates are without weakness. The guards win in march madness. Obern guards are good. Florida is better. Florida 82, Obern 70,
Jordan Mendaja: Duke’s amazing crime is still facing its biggest challenge. Blue Devils must be able to score some points against Houston, but wonder the cougar will be maintained. Houston is difficult to protect in the last minutes for victory. Houston 63, Duke 61,
Paul Mairberg: Houston will earn Duke at an aggressive end, unlike Arizona and Alabama, sweets in 16 and elite eight. Cougars can slow down sufficient things to deny the benefits of blue devils in size and shooting. But Duke is very good and now playing very well to stop. Houston will put the scoring down, but will not be enough to disturb a minor. Duke 71, Houston 58,
Eric Smith: Another matchup where experience factor is important. He goes to Dhar court with Houston and Kelvin Sampson on the bench. Duke has more dynamic players, including the best of the last four. Can Cooper Flag produce the largest shots on the largest platform? We will bet on it. Duke 70, Houston 66,
Eddie Timens: I hope this is not a rock fight that is predicting something. The capacity for this is that it can be a high scoring game compared to data, and if it actually happens, I think there are advocates of Blue Devils. Duke 84, Houston 75,
Blake Topmier: No one better defends Houston, and cougar goes to five-deeles with players who can score in double figures. His experience will shine at this stage of the tournament. Houston 75, Duke 71,
