Who Will Emerge Out Of The Final Four

It's down to four teams left in what has been a crazy year of college basketball. You have seen the top seeds fall to teams that you might not have even known to have been in Division One. And now it comes down to four teams left fighting for the National Championship in Houston.

The Cinderella of the tournament, who I believe a lot of people want to see at least in the championship, is Loyola- Chicago, who has had a great run but I think that Michigan will be the victor in the first game because of the way that they move the ball. They are a great blend of inside and out, and from what I've seen throughout the tournament this team has increased their defensive premise as well. As an Ohio State fan as well it kills me to say that but with the development over the course of this season alone I feel like they are going to take care of business. Also, Loyola has never played on this big of a stage and the bright lights might get to them early in the game and impact them to a point where they might not be able to make a comeback.

The other Final Four game is Villanova and Kansas, Nova to me is counted out every year because they play in a quote-un-quote "nonpower" conference. Every year though this team shows the haters wrong and is at the end of March Madness most of the time. However this year they haven't been playing great but just have been playing good enough to make it here. Something that you can't do against a Kansas team also looking to make a statement that they can finish what they start. The Jay Hawks haven't been able to make it all the way but to me this year is going to be the year they get a shot at the National Championship because of their bench depth and seniors that have experienced the bright lights and know how to win in crunch time.

So who is my pick to win it all? Kansas or Michigan? It's Kansas, this team has heard so much ofver the past three years. These kids have had shots to get up and leave to go make millions in the NBA but decided to come back to make a statement. Bill Self is one of the best coaches in the NCAA and i think this is the year that they get it done completely.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
