Adam has Villanova over Pittsburgh.

Special note from Matt: “For the record and Adam can confirm this, I’m not putting Duke in the Final 4 because I like their style or because I respect Coach K or because I want to see Dick Vitale dress up in a blue and white cheerleader uniform. I despise them and all that they stand for and think there are few things more evil on planet earth than Quin Snyder. That being said, the line-up change of inserting Elliott Williams at the point has done wonders for this team and they are playing their best basketball in the last three years right now at this moment. Even I’m not blind enough with hatred to not admit this.”

Special note from Adam: “My blog readers can now see that I’m no respecter of sports fans!”
