NCAA March Madness 2015 Final Four TV Schedule, Predictions & Stream: Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke, Michigan State Battle for NCAA Championship
The most exciting weekend of college basketball is here.
A field that started with 68 playoff teams has been narrowed down to just four. Only Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke and Michigan State remain. The winner of these two games will play in the championship game on Monday.
Latin Post breaks down the two final four games:
Kentucky vs. Wisconsin
Kentucky's perfect season continues. As the No. 1 seed all season long, Kentucky is undefeated at 38-0. The last program to go fully undefeated the whole season was the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers led by Bob Knight. Karl-Anthony Towns has been fantastic this season, leading the Kentucky Wildcats in rebounding. Kentucky is a very balanced squad having three separate players, averaging at least 10 points per game. Kentucky won the Midwest region by defeating Hampton, Cincinnati, West Virginia and Notre Dame.
Wisconsin may be the underdog, but there's no reason to believe they can't knock off Kentucky. Frank Kaminsky may very well be the best player in all of college basketball. He was recently named "Player of the Year." Kaminsky is the primary player to watch on Wisconsin, but Sam Dekker has been playing outstanding during this tournament. Wisconsin won the West region by defeating Coastal Carolina, Oregon, North Carolina and Arizona.
Predictions
It feels as if this is the National Championship game. Wisconsin has been the most impressive team during the tournament, and they have a great combination with Decker and Kaminsky. This game is going down to the wire, but Kentucky will win a nail-biter.
Kentucky wins 68-65 in overtime
Schedule, Where to Watch
Kentucky and Wisconsin will play each other on Saturday, April 4 at 8:49 p.m. EST on TBS. The game will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Duke vs. Michigan State
Duke has been criticized because they got placed in an easy region, but they fully took advantage of the south bracket. Mike Krzyzewski is arguably the best college basketball coach of all-time. Since 1986, he has led the Duke Blue Devils to eight championship games, four of which have resulted in wins. Center Jahlil Okafor could very well go on to be the No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 NBA draft. Duke dominated the south region by eliminating Robert Morris, San Diego State, Utah and Gonzaga.
Michigan State is the highest ranked team remaining. While Wisconsin, Kentucky and Duke are No. 1 seeds from their regions, Michigan State has made the final four as a No. 7 seed. Just like Duke, who has benefited from excellent coaching, Michigan State has had Tom Izzo leading the way for 20 years. This program was just in the championship game not that long ago when they lost to North Carolina. Travis Trice, Denzel Valentine and Branden Dawson lead an offense that is looking for their first title since 2000.
Predictions
Michigan State may have home court advantage in this game, and they are far more battle-tested. This should also be a close contest coming down to the wire. Coaching will be the difference.
Duke wins 72-65
Schedule, Where to Watch
Duke and Michigan State will play each other on Saturday, April 4 at 6:09 p.m. EST on TBS. The game will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can watch a live game stream here.
