Tonight Villanova will face Florida to see who will make a run in this year's final four. Florida has not been to the Final Four since 2000, when they came up short for the Championship. Villanova has not made it to the Final Four since 1985 when they shocked Georgetown winning the National Championship.
V for Vendetta or Villanova?
The Wildcats ended Florida's chances last year with a dramatic win with 4 guards on the floor. After forward Chris Sumpter blew out his knee in the first half, Nova's chances looked dismal at best, but Coach Jay Wright worked with the hand he was dealt and played 4 guards triumphantly winning against Florida, albeit Nova lost to UNC (2005 Champs), Wright continued to use the 4 guard offense winning 28 games and giving the Wildcats their first #1-seed in school history.
The Gators are not the seasoned powerhouse of last year as Lee, Roberson amd Walsh have all left the team. Replacing this trio are the young, but formidable Sophomores Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Joakim Noah and Al Horford all quick on response and transitions on the hardwood.
Both teams are quick and can score points quickly as we have seen in their last games, Florida defeating Georgetown and Villanova defeating Boston College. My money would be on Villanova to win tonight, but Florida will give a strong performance; look for this game to come down to the final moments.
