We have new teams that are on the quest for the crown for the 2014 Final Four.
Are you ready ?
The FLORIDA GATORS were the first final four, proclaimed team, as Saturday they would take on the DAYTON FLYERS. The gators were the number 1 seed in the entire tournament and proved it Saturday. They showed strong offensive ability as senior guard, Scottie Wilbekin would lead the way, for the gators and would be the leading scorer. On their defensive abilities they proved that they were a forced to be reckoned with, as Dorian Finney- Smith would lead they way on the boards with 9 rebounds. The gators controlled the entire game on both ends of the floor and showed their dominating ability.
The Flyers were also a team that had made their mark on this tournament. They would make it to the sweet sixteen and on to the elite 8; beating teams that were the number 6,3,10 seeds. The Dayton flyers showed their dominance during the fourth round of the tournament, as they would go on to beat the Standford Cardinals by 10 points. Through out their game against the cardinals they showed mental toughness and dominance.
While sunday evening's game would be a different game style, as the KENTUCKY WILDCATS took on the MICHIGAN WOLVERINES. The Kentucky wildcats came into this game defying everyones odds in the tournament. Even though the wildcats started five freshman, they were looked at as a inexperienced team; who couldn't go far in the tournament despite their "talent". The wildcats were a number 8 seed Sunday, as they would go against the wolverines, and were the underdog. Similar to this Kentucky Wildcats team the MICHIGAN WOLVERINES knew what it felt like to be looked upon as "inexperienced" though "talented" teams because of their final four appearance and championship game last season. They knew that this year they were hungrier then ever after losing in the title game last season and wanted to prove it Sunday afternoon, as they took on the wildcats. Both teams would show similar styles of offense as they would both shoot various jump shots. At the end of the first half , it would be shown why both teams were final four caliber teams as they would be tied at 37 points. The second half would be no different, as the game winning shot would be scored with 2 seconds left in the game by freshman guard Aaron Harrison, to put the wildcats up by 3. The wildcats would go on to win it 75-72 , bringing back into the question "Is it really the year of the freshman" ? The wildcats would answer that question Sunday as they would prove to be a very strong team headed into the final four.
