Who Will Win it All Out of the Final Four?

The NCAA Final Four is coming up this weekend. The four teams will invade Phoenix for the final three games of the College Basketball season. There are a couple surprises in the big dance, while there are a couple teams that people knew would be here. Two #1 seeds are in the big dance, a #4 seed, and a big underdog in an 11 seed. 

Both the Houston Cougars and North Carolina Tar Heels are the top two teams seeded that are not in the big dance. All the 2 seeds and 3 seeds were eliminated as well. This tournament did not see any 15 or 16 seeds, but one 14 won a game, and that was Oakland over Kentucky.

Let’s take a look at the Final 4 and their lines on College Basketball, and discuss which team will win the NCAA Championship, regardless of what the odds and oddsmakers say.

Forget the Lines on College Basketball…. Who Will Win it All Out of the Final Four? | MyBookie Betting Preview of the NCAA Tournament

2024 NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament | 85th annual edition of the tournament

UConn Huskies

The UConn Huskies are our pick to win the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. We do not care what their odds are to win the title or win their game on Saturday. Dan Hurley and his team are red hot.

This is the same team that won the title a season ago. They have won 10 straight NCAA Tournament games by double digits. In the win over Illinois on Saturday, the Huskies scored 30 straight points in the game.

Donovan Clingan has been really good in the tournament, as he went for 22 and 10 on Saturday, including 5 blocked shots. The Big East Champions have just three losses on the season; all on the road.

Of course, the Huskies won the title last season, but lost 8 games in that season. That was the first team to win it all with 8+ losses since the Huskies did it in 2014. That season they beat Kentucky and were led by Kevin Ollie.

The Huskies won the title in 2011 under Jim Calhoun, and that season they lost 9 games. They beat Butler 53-41 in Houston that season.

Purdue Basketball

The Big Ten Champions in the regular season have been tremendous in the postseason. Head Coach Matt Painter and his Boilermakers turned things around from the first round loss to Fairleigh Dickinson a season ago.

Big man Zach Edey scored 40 points and ripped down 16 rebounds in the emotional win over Tennessee on Sunday. Edey led all of College Basketball in scoring with 25 points per game. He was just ahead of Terrence Shannon of Illinois, who was at 23 points per game.

The Boilermakers have turned into one of the best three point shooting teams in the nation as well. Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Lance Jones can all hit the big shot when needed. Through four games for Purdue, Edey has made 36 free throws.

For Purdue, they are looking for their first National Title in school history. The Boilermakers are also looking to help the Big Ten win their first title since Michigan State took down Florida back in 2000 at Indianapolis. Purdue won their first three tournament games over Grambling State , Utah State and Gonzaga.

North Carolina State Basketball

Kevin Keats and his Wolf Pack were an 11 seed in the NCAA Tournament. When March arrived, the WolfPack were not going to be in the NCAA Tournament. North Carolina State won five games in five days, and now have won four in the big dance.

DJ Burns is the talk of the tournament. Burns dominated Duke in the paint, scoring 29 points in 29 minutes of action.  He was 13 of 19 from the field. The big man is going to go up against Zach Edey on Saturday. Can he keep up with the massive size of the Purdue big man? 

NC State has eliminated Texas Tech, Oakland, Marquette and Duke in the big dance. They are third, as we like both the Huskies and Boilermakers more than them. Of course, basketball fans are familiar with the North Carolina State team of 1983. It was their first and only national title in school history.

That Wolf Pack team beat Houston by a low score of 54-52. Since then the Atlantic Coast Conference has won a handful of national titles. They went 35-3 under Tony Bennett and took down Texas Tech in overtime in Minneapolis.

Alabama Basketball

The only reason the Crimson Tide are fourth on this list is strongly because of who they will play on Saturday. Alabama gets a shot at the Connecticut Huskies first. Mark Sears and the Crimson Tide have been the top offensive team in all of College Basketball. Sears is scoring more than 21 points per game. Alabama late in the season have scored 100+ points twice.

Alabama beat Ole Miss, and scored 103 and they beat Charleston with 109 points.  After struggling at times during SEC play, the Crimson Tide have gone through Charleston, Grand Canyon, North Carolina and then Clemson. This is the first trip to the Final Four for Alabama. 

Therefore they have never won a national title as well. Nate Oats and his Crimson Tide are one of the nation’s elite three point shooting teams. In fact, if the Crimson Tide do not get a lay-up, they are likely shooting one from downtown.

The last time a SEC school won a national title was in 2012 when the Kentucky Wildcats beat the Kansas Jayhawks in New Orleans. Before that, in 2006 the Florida Gators downed the UCLA Bruins in Indianapolis.

There you go. That is a look at the NCAA Final 4. And a look at which team will win the Championship. We do not care what the odds say, that’s our pick – the Connecticut Huskies. It would be back to back titles for the Huskies.
