March Madness Final Four Prediction

The March Madness betting tournament for 2011 is literally two weeks away, and fans around the world are still trying to determine which teams will make the tournament. However, for today’s betting online on March Madness column, we will be looking at the four teams that will ultimately be battling in the semi-finals for a chance at National title supremacy. Here is our prediction for the final four.


This season’s March Madness final four will include the Texas Longhorns, Wisconsin Badgers, St. John’s Red Storm and the Duke Blue Devils. At first glance you all may be thinking we are crazy for adding Wisconsin and St. John’s, but consider that both of these teams have not only been upsetting top ranked teams but blowing them out all year long. For instance, the St. John’s Red Storm took on the Duke Blue Devils in the middle of January at Madison Square Garden’s and absolutely embarrassed them. The Red Storm would win the game by a score of 93 to 78.

Aside from that blowout victory over Duke, St. John’s has also knocked off such powerhouses as Connecticut, Pittsburgh and Villanova. Meaning to say, that despite a 19 and nine win loss record, and 13th overall ranking in the nation’s top 25 poll, St. John’s is a team fans should consider making a push to the final four. In our ideal scenario, the Red Storm would take on Duke in their final four matchup.

Meanwhile, the other final four matchup would see the Texas Longhorns taking on the Wisconsin Badgers. The 2010-11 college basketball seasons has appeared to be the year of the Longhorns, as the team is one of the best defensively and constantly ranked in the top five in the nation. On the other hand, the Wisconsin Badgers are a team on the rise. With a record of 22 and six and a 12th overall ranking, the Badgers were the first team to defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes this year. Led by John Leuer and Jordan Taylor, the Badgers have been in every game this season. Look for the Badgers to be the toughest opponent for the Longhorns yet, when they face off in the final four.
