March Madness Final Four Trivia

FINAL-FOUR-TRIVIA

This weekend marks the start of the Final Four, aka the culmination of the greatest tournament in sports. Kentucky is going for perfection, Wisconsin is looking to get revenge from last season, Michigan St. is peaking at the right time like Tom Izzo’s teams do, and Duke is Duke yet again. I predict when all is said and done, UK will not raise the banner this year. Wisconsin exacts their revenge, beats Kentucky and goes on to win the National Title. Even if you don’t agree with my assessment, test your Final Four trivia knowledge and see how much of an expert you are.
