My Final Four

With all the top seeds advancing, this will be one of the most entertaining second weekends of the tournament in recent memory. When all is said and done though, these four teams will be in the "Motor City" for the first weekend in April.

*Midwest

Louisville- They will eventually expose the youth of the super athletic Demon Deacons and take care of the overachieving Jayhawks in the Elite Eight. I just hope Pitino brings that all white suit to Detroit.

*West

Memphis- they have a few more horses to run with than Missouri does and they're size on the perimeter is the perfect answer for a UConn team that still hasn't recovered from losing Jerome Dyson. Look for Pierre Henderson-Niles to play the poor man's version of DeJuan Blair against Hasheem Thabeet while Shawn Taggart and Robert Dozier go crazy.

*East

Pittsburgh- They're a little too physical for Xavier and Villanova just doesn't have enough in the front court to stay with them for 40 minutes. Just like Kansas got over the hump last year and finally got to the Final Four, you've got to figure the Panthers are going to be there.

*South

North Carolina- Of course the fate of the Tar Heels rests on the big toe of Ty Lawson, but he's gotta play at some point. If he can't drive the car for the college basketball's version of the Phoenix Suns, look for Syracuse to bring a little more of that Big East flavor to Detroit.
