Expert Final Four Predictions & Picks

Andy Katz certainly made some bold predictions this year. He was the only analyst not to select  the Duke Blue Devils to come out of the East Region, going with the Michigan State Spartans instead. With upperclassmen like Cassius Winston, Matt McQuaid and Kenny Goins, the Spartans might be able to upset the Blue Devils if they meet in the Elite Eight. 

Seth Davis and Clark Kellogg are both big believers in Duke and the Gonzaga Bulldogs to come out of the East and West Regions, respectively. However, Davis likes Purdue in the South and Kentucky out of the Midwest, while Kellogg is leaning toward Virginia and Houston.
