Talk about your top-heavy Final Four!  2 #1 seeds will play 2 #2 seeds in the National semifinals for the right to play for the NCAA basketball championship.  Let’s take a look at the matchups:

  vs 

UCLA Bruins vs Florida Gators

The Bruins defense has been dominating throughout the tournament, and showed up big time in shutting down Kansas to win the West Regional.  Arron Afflalo and Darren Collison are leading the Bruins into the rematch of last years Championship game against Florida, who dispatched Oregon with clutch shooting and rebounding at the end of the game.

  vs 

Georgetown Hoyas vs Ohio State Buckeyes

The Hoyas are back in the Final Four after 22 years, and yet they look like the same team lead by Patrick Ewing.  Stout defense and strong inside play got them past North Carolina in overtime.  They’ll need every bit of that defense when they take on Ohio State.  While teams pack the zone to crowd Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Ron Lewis continue their awesome guard play with timely outside shots.  We’ll pulling for the Hoyas, but Ohio State has too much talent.

Last up are the beasts in the East in East Rutherford.

  vs 

#1 North Carolina vs #5 Southern Cal

North Carolina comes in as yet another top seed who’s still winning, but not in convincing fashion.  Tyler Hansbrough has finally shed his facemask as it looked like he couldn’t see 2 feet in front of him.  UNC will need him to step up as USC comes in after a convincing win over #4 Texas.  USC’s looking good, but Carolina’s got too many horses.

  vs   

#6 Vanderbilt vs #2 Georgetown

Vanderbilt’s another ‘under the radar’ team who’s quietly made the Sweet 16, but make no mistake, this team can play defense.  It’s win over Florida in the regular season established the Commodores as at top SEC team.  Georgetown is another team making us at Sport nostolgic for the old days of Ewing, Mourning, and Mutombo.  And yet, the Hoyas play like they did 20 years ago:  dominating the inside and tough defense.  Look for the Hoyas to take Vandy, and the East.
