This weekend is the 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four in Indianapolis. With only one #1 team left, the teams that remain are not the ones that were expected to be there.
On Saturday, April 3 at 6:07 p.m. the Butler University Bulldogs will play in their hometown against the Michigan State Trojans. Both teams were seeded five in their respective sections of the bracket. The Bulldogs have had several upset wins throughout the tournament that have allowed them to reach the final four. They beat the #1 seeded Syracuse Orange in the Sweet Sixteen and #2 seeded Kansas State in the Elite Eight. Michigan St. on the other hand has not had to face a team ranked higher than four because of various upsets including, Northern Iowa knocking off top seeded Kansas in the second round. Last year, the Trojans lost in the national championship game to North Carolina.
The second game on Saturday is between two teams that many predicted would make deep runs in the tournament. The Duke University Blue Devils, the last remaining top seed, will take on the #2 seeded West Virginia Mountaineers. Duke has not encountered any major trouble thus far in the tournament and has reached the Final Four for the first time since 2004. The Mountaineers' biggest test came in the Elite Eight against top-seeded Kentucky, where they were able to prevail by the score of 73-66. West Virginia was able to take down Kentucky with a score of 73-66. Tip-off for this game is at 8:47 p.m.
The national championship will be on Monday, April 5 at 9:21 p.m. All games will be aired on CBS.
