West Regional Final
Tip-off: 04:30 today, U.S. Airways, Phoenix
TV / Radio: CBS / WDFN
Records: No. 4. Louisville 29-9, No. 7 Florida 26-10
Keys: There's a reason CBS chose not to put the game in first. This one may be a reflection of the Louisville-Michigan State game. Both teams played great pressure defense and not a particularly good shot. The Louisville center stage of Gorgui Dieng had seven blocks against the Spartans. Freshman guard Brad Beal, the tool's leader. If he controlled, Louisville will win.
Prediction: Louisville 48-44
East Regional Final
Tip-off: 7:05 tonight, TD Garden, Boston
TV / Radio: CBS / WDFN
Records: No. 1. Syracuse 34-2, No. 2 Ohio State 30-7
Keys: It's simple - if Ohio State can operate effectively against Syracuse's 2-3 zone to the final four for the first time since 2007 will be promoted. The Buckeyes have the better front line led by center / forward. Jared Sullinger, who 23 points and 11 rebounds against the Cincinnati. The Orange are trying to get to the final four for the first time since 2002-03. The Orange is more of a detriment to the front with the loss of 7-foot Fab Melo, who was disqualified by the school just days before the NCAA Tournament began.
Prediction: Ohio State 72-60
