Only 3 weeks away from Opening Night. Let's get some Final 4 predictions. I'll jot them down as we go, and we'll revisit after Championship Monday.

I'll start us. ...

Gonzaga
Kentucky
North Carolina
Virginia

Champion: Kentucky
 

Duke
Nevada
Kansas
Tennessee

Duke cuts down the nets at US Bank Stadium

Fun Fact: Duke has won all five of its national titles when the Final Four was played in a city ending in "-apolis".
 

Well, the hockey team got it it done at home back in 2002...

Gophers
Villanova
Loyola Chicago
Duke

Gophers over Loyola Chicago

GOPHERS
 

Nevada
Kentucky

Sparty
Builts dream comes true and Tony Bennett cuts down the nets

Duke

Kansas

Champs: Kansas in a squeaker over Duke. Immediately the NCAA takes the trophy and slaps a four year verdict on Kansas leaving no champion.

I'll believe UVa can get out of it's own way when I see it.

No MSU? No B1G teams at all?

Gotta think at least one B1G will be in it. I’ll go against the grain and take Purdue. Also Kentucky, Duke (puke), Texas.

Kentucky wins it and we all continue cursing that g&&dam Reid Travis for another year. (Until 2020 when the Gophers win it, led by a front line of Matthew Hurt, Amir Coffey, and Daniel Oturu).
 

Kentucky, Duke, Minnesota, North Carolina

Kentucky will win

Minnesota and not sure about the other three. It's a crapshoot.

Gophers cut down the nets in front of the home crowd naturally.
 




Kentucky, Nevada, Auburn, and MSU. Nevada beats Kentucky in the championship. Eric Mussleman becomes the most sought after coach since Shaka Smart and leaves for a big-time program or back to the NBA.
 


Duke
Nebraska
Kentucky
West Virginia

Kentucky, Nevada, Kansas, Kansas St. Nevada wins.

Why not? In the Hurt year a Gophers finish 2nd in the National Championship and Hurt ignores the NBA to stay another year,
 

Fun to look back at the predictions here on selection sunday
