Wednesday MegaCap

So I thought the Duke/Syracuse game was awesome with the Orange winning at the buzzer thanks to John Gillon, but then I saw Oregon and Cal go at it. That game for Oregon was special. They were down for about 95% of the game, came storming back late and capped it off with a game-winning three by Dillon Brooks. It looked like Cal could not be stopped on offense, but Oregon just found a way. This was a C- effort for the Ducks, yet they managed to come out on top.

The most anticipated game of the night was Louisville/North Carolina. Honestly, this game disappointed as North Carolina cruised to an 11-point victory. With regard to the Cardinals, I think they showed that they need more than Donovan Mitchell to get to a Final Four. Mitchell is an outstanding talent, but he can't do it completely by himself. Even Kemba Walker had Jeremy Lamb. North Carolina pretty much wrapped the ACC barring a complete meltdown down the stretch. This is well-deserved as the Tar Heels have been the most consistent team in the conference. 

We then had Villanova and Butler which actually shocked me. There was a point where Villanova had an 8-point lead with about 13 minutes left, and I thought for sure the Wildcats would cruise to an easy victory. Butler stormed back though and beat the Cats 74-66. I know that Villanova lost twice to Butler now, but I'm not that concerned. Teams always have kryptonite: teams that they just can't beat. For example, Louisville's is Virginia. Villanova's kryptonite this season is Butler, and there's nothing to worry about that, as the odds that the two play each other in the tournament are extremely rare. 

Also, Kansas clinched their 13th straight Big 12 championship, so uh, go them. 

After tonight's busy schedule, here's an updated version of my Final Four:
