2007 NCAA Basketball Final Four Winners

United States

I would like to take a semi-scientific poll of who you think will win this weekend's Final Four basketball games, along with the final scores. There is a method to my madness here, so even those of you that don't follow college basketball can use your intuition, tea leaves, etc., to pick the winners. I'll start: Ohio State 71 Georgetown 68 Florida 83 UCLA 81 Next Sunday, we'll do the championship game also. I'll post the results of the poll right before tipoff of Saturday's games, and we'll see how collectively psychic we are. Happy picking!

Georgetown over Ohio State, 69-63. Georgetown has the perfect blend of inside and outside weapons to contend with the Buckeyes. Roy Hibbert has improved so much during his time at Georgetown, and he's a big body who can man up and play with Greg Oden and limit his effect on both sides of the ball. Instead of smaller teams who try to pull Oden away from the basket, the Hoyas will match Hibbert with Oden inside... Florida over UCLA, 72-61. I saw the UCLA-Kansas game, and it was all about defense. Kansas was in the lane for the majority of that game, they were just not able to put down their layups and close shots. Had they done so, it would have been a much different game. Florida, with all 5 starters from the team that destroyed UCLA last season, will be able to do what Kansas could not. Horford and Noah inside will be too much... and watch out for Humphries, who could be the X-factor in this game with his outside shooting and ability to space out the floor inside for Noah and Horford.

Good analysis, though we disagree on the G-Town Osu outcome. Your point is well-made, but I still see Oden and Hibbert canceling each other out, and the Buckeye guards have that special something that will get the job done - but barely.

For the record, since no one else contributed, I was 2-0 *pats self on back, hits a zit and howls in pain*
