FINAL FOUR is UPON US!!!! written by Ronald Carthen

I bet many of you didn't get Duke, Michigan State, West Virginia, and Butler in the Final Four.

Most of us didn't see this coming and wish we had bigger teams heading to Indianapolis, but that's what makes this better then the Bowl Championship Series. The best two teams all season long may not play in the championship, but we can at least live with the final two teams who advanced to the title game are in the game because they earned it in a tournament system.

I'll have my picks later this week, but let's recap what happend this week shall we.

COACH K and the BLUE DEVILS are BACK!!!!!!!

Mike Krzyzewski is back in the Final Four for the 11th time with the Blue Devils and his first appearance since 2004, but let's be honest for a minute.

We all know that Blue Devil center Brian Zoubek should have been fouled out of the game when Quincy Acy drove right into him with more than 4:30 minutes left in the game with the Baylor Bears up 59-57. The momentum shifted so dramatically when Nolan Smith, who lead the game with 29 points, hit a three-pointer that started a Blue Devils 21-12 run to end the game.

I can't believe the Blue Devils had 17 offensive rebounds in the second half. The Bears can not be serious? You mean to tell me you are that scared to grab the ball after a Duke miss, that's unacceptable.

Jon Scheyer had a great game with 20 points, shooting five of 10 from the

three-point line, but where was Kyle Singler? Shooting zero for 10 from the field will not get it done in the Final Four. Step it up Kyle for the sake of the Duke student body.

Duke will come in as the only number one seed in the Final Four. In the last 12 years, the only team that was the only solo number one seed to win the title was the Michigan State Spartans in the 2000 season. The Blue Devils were the only number one seed in 2004, but lost to the Connecticut Huskies in the national semifinals.

HUGGY BEAR in the FINAL FOUR for the SECOND TIME!!!!!!!

Bob Huggins is heading to Final Four for the first time since taking Cincinnati in 1992. He's taking the West Virginia Mountaineers to their first trip since 1959, when Jerry West was the tournament's most outstanding player but his team lost to California in the national championship.

The Kentucky Wildcats need to take notes from the Mountaineers on how to shoot three-pointers. The Mountaineers made eight three-pointers and no two-point baskets at the end of the first half. The Wildcats shot only four of 32 three-point baskets the entire game.

Da'Sean Butler lead the team with 18 points and sparked the Moutaineers big momentum swing in the first half to send John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins to start looking for homes and cars as they get ready for the NBA Draft. My only problem is he has to make better shot selections after going four of 15 from the field.

Moutaineers point guard Joe Mazzula started for injured Darryl "Truck" Bryant and man he surprised me in this game at least. Joe made 17 points on five of 11 from the field.

If the Mountianeers want to beat Duke, they have to shoot better than 38.5% from the field.

TOM IZZO is built for the FINAL FOUR!!!!!!!

Tom Izzo is taking the Michigan State Spartans to their second straight Final Four and their sixth appearance in the last 12 years.

With 12 seconds left in the game, Spartans forward Draymond Green fouled Tennessee Volunteers guard Scotty Hopson with the Spartans up 69-68. When Scotty made the first free throw to tie it, coach Izzo called a timeout to freeze him and make him think. Then when he came back to the line, he missed the second free throw. With time running out for the Spartans, Raymar Morgan attempts for the layin but a referee called a foul on J.P. Prince with 1.8 seconds left. Raymar made one of two free throws to take a one point lead. Then after the Volunteers called a timeout, J.P. attempted the worst halfcourt shot I've ever seen.

That's too bad for Volunteers coach Bruce Pearl. This was the Vols best chance to make their first appearance in the Final Four and it took a missed free throw and a questionable foul call to ruin it.

Spartans guard Durrell Summers will be key for the Spartans success in Indianapolis. He dropped 21 points on eight of 10 from the field and four of six from the three-point line against the Vols.

BUTLER returns HOME for the FINAL FOUR!!!!!!!

Brad Stevens has taken Butler to their first appearance in the Final Four. The best part is they are only five miles from Lucas Oil Stadium.

I see why the Bulldogs are on a 24-game winning streak when they defeated the Kansas State Wildcats. Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mack combined for 38 points in this game. They made Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente look like an average duo. Jacob and Denis only scored a combined 32 points on 11 of 30 shooting.

After beating Syracuse and the Wildcats, The Spartans better get ready for this team. The Bulldogs are looking to make this a true Cinderella story.
