Steve Davis: The Final Four - Who I Like And Why

Like everyone else, my bracket is busted. I had Michigan State beating North Carolina in one Final Four game, and Oklahoma over Kansas in the other one. So, I have 2 of my Final Four teams left, UNC and Oklahoma.

I will take both of them to win their respective games over Syracuse and Villanova. Regarding UNC-Syracuse, I just can't see Carolina losing. They have won every game by double digits, 14, 15, 16 and 19. No one has given them a game.
