March Madness: National Championship




After splitting the Final Four games, my tourney record stands at 47-15. One game left.

2 Michigan State vs. 1 North Carolina [9:21 ET]
The Pick: North Carolina
-Michigan State has exceeded expectations en route to Tom Izzo's fifth Final Four. The Spartans are deep and perhaps ahead of schedule, as they will return the majority of their 11-man rotation for next season. But, the Tar Heels began the season as the clear favorites and now close out the season in the same position. Ol' Roy's squad has won all of its tourney games by at least 12 points -- beating overmatched Radford by 43, SEC champion LSU by 14, Mark Few's talented Gonzaga squad by 21, Oklahoma and Player of the Year Blake Griffin by 12, and Villanova by 14 in the Final Four. While the Heels never quite lived up to their preseason billing as potentially the most dominant team in history, Psycho T and company have the opportunity to close out their championship run in style. And, if there's one thing Psycho T knows (other than how to dominate the souls of other human beings), it's style. The Spartans have a shot, but expect the Tar Heels to prevail.
