2017 NCAA Tournament Predictions: Final Four

Here are my predictions for the Final Four of the 2017 NCAA tournament. The games will be held at University Of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

4/1- (E7) South Carolina vs (W1) Gonzaga- 6:09, CBS: This is a fascinating matchup and both of these teams coaches in the Gamecocks's Frank Martin and the Bulldogs's Mark Few deserve a ton of credit for getting their teams here. Sindarius Thornwell has been the tournament's best player thus far and he'll keep the Cocks in this game, but the Bulldogs, led by Nigel Williams-Goss and Prezemek Karnowski, will go to their first ever National Championship game.
Prediction: Gonzaga

4/1- (MW3) Oregon vs (S1) North Carolina- 8:49, CBS: This is such a great game as well. Dana Holtman deserves credit for getting the Ducks here without Chris Boucher. Roy Williams obviously deserves his credit as well. Joel Berry's ankle injury is something to watch and he should be good to go. Dillon Brooks, Tyler Dorsey, and Jordan Bell have been outstanding, but the depth and the rebounding of the Tar Heels will be too much for the Ducks to handle as the Heels will return to the National Championship game for the second year in a row.
Prediction: North Carolina
