NCAA Championship Nears!

We have reached the Sweet Sixteen, and the Championship is only four rounds away. There are eight games being played in this round, winners advance to the Elite Eight. The following table lists all of the games being played in the Sweet Sixteen, and my prediction, along with a short description.

Games	Predictions
Kentucky vs. West Virginia	Kentucky-this team is the best team in the country right now, I see them winning by at least eight over the very competitive Mountaineers.
Notre Dame vs. Wichita State	Notre Dame-the Fighting Irish barely got away with a win over Butler in overtime last round. They won’t let the Shockers beat them now.
Wisconsin vs. North Carolina	Wisconsin-Honestly speaking, I believe that this is the only team in the country that can compete with Kentucky. The Badgers win by at least five.
Xavier vs. Arizona	Arizona-these guys are an underdog in this year’s tourney, and I believe they make a statement against Xavier. Arizona by at least ten.
North Carolina State vs. Louisville	Louisville-they will make the next round by handling the hot NC State, Montrezl Harrell will shine in this game. Louisville by at least seven.
Oklahoma vs. Michigan State	Michigan St.-it feels weird to say this, but the Spartans are an underdog in this tournament, but they continue to impress. Michigan St in a thriller.
Duke vs. Utah	Duke-it will be closer than people think, but Duke just has too many weapons to lose at this point. Utah will give them a scare, but Duke squeaks by.
UCLA vs. Gonzaga	Gonzaga-one more team that hasn’t gotten enough credit, as they have really impressed me this year. The Bulldogs win by at least ten.

So many things can still happen to completely shock us all in this tourney; I personally see Kentucky winning it all this year. I think they will finish the year undefeated. Will they get beaten this year? Or will John Calipari and his Wildcats be on top of the NCAA world? We can only watch and find out!
