ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas has revealed his Final Four picks for this year’s NCAA Tournament.
The former Duke Blue Devil selected Kansas, Arizona, Gonzaga and Kentucky as his teams that have what it takes to punch their ticket to New Orleans in 2022. His Final Four consists of three No. 1 seeds and one No. 2 seed.
Bilas has the No. 1 seed Jayhawks falling to the No. 1 seed Arizona Wildcats on one side of the bracket.
“Arizona is the more balanced team and the more talented team. If healthy, Arizona wins,” he wrote in this year’s bracket breakdown.
On the other side, he has the No. 1 seed Zags taking down the No. 2 seed Kentucky Wildcats.
“Although Tshiebwe presents major problems for anyone, Gonzaga having Timme and Holmgren will make the difference. But can Gonzaga get out in transition? Gonzaga has more NCAA experience and will advance to the title game … again,” Bilas added.
The longtime ESPN analyst believes Mark Few and the Bulldogs will finally get over the championship hump and claim this year’s NCAA Tournament title.
“Mark Few will get his first title, and the next stop will be the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame,” he wrote.
