Final 4 Prediction

3 Michigan State V. 3 New Mexico

I dont have any 1 seeds in my Final 4. Michigan State is a scary team to be playing in March because of superior coaching. If they can shut down New Mexico's balanced scoring attack they should glide to an easy win. They dont shoot a lot of 3 pointers so they rely on defense and rebounding to keep them in games. New Mexico will have a tough time scoring against Michigan State and if they are not scoring it is unlikely they win.

Winner: Michigan State

2 Miami V. 3 Florida 

This would be a great matchup against stretch 4's in Kenny Kadji and Erik Murphy. The Gators are stingy on defense so they will not allow Miami to get away with things that they have all year. They will also hit 3's, but they are also really efficient offense and defense. Miami has a great shot blocker in Julian Gamble which means Florida cannot be afraid to go inside. The Gators would have to shut down Shane Larkin which can be a huge task.

Winner: Florida
