Who Is In Your Final Four . . . ?

Arizona
Iowa State
Villanova
I'm struggling with the East bracket. I can see Villanova going to the FF or losing in round 3. Love Izzo in March and the team is playing well but I've watched them enough this season not to trust them. Virginia? Hard to pick after watching Anderson in the ACC tournament. My "sleeper" is LSU out of that bracket.

Everyone seems to like UK, Zona and ISU. I do too. I'll put Oklahoma in as my 4th. I like UVa a lot but with Anderson not healthy, I don't think they have enough dynamic players. Brogdon can only do so much.
I like NCSU to beat LSU and possibly knock off Nova. So they're not one of my sleepers. If I was to list sleepers by brackets (have to be 5 seed or lower), I'd go with MSU in the East, SMU in the South, OSU in the West and Wichita St. in the Midwest.
Well, my Final Four would be the one I want. And that would be this:
UNC from the West - for obvious reasons
ND from the Midwest - to get a rematch knowing that the 3rd time's often the charm and to guarantee at least 1 ACC team in the Championship
UVA from the East - to equal the BE with the most Final Four teams in 1 tournament and because I like Bennett
Gonzaga from the South - because I like Few and respect the program
The ones I think most likely to make it:
UK - Midwest
Arizona - West
UVA - East
Iowa State - South

The ones I think most likely to make it:
UK - Midwest
Arizona - West
UVA - East
Iowa State - South
That would be quite a showdown. Although I would feel bad for the East Region not getting a single team in the final four!
Well CRAP that's what I get for trying to remember my bracket without looking!! Lol.

I really don't know who to pick coming out of the Villanova bracket. It could be them, or Virginia, or Louisville, or Michigan State could get on a run. That's the tough one for me!

Hard to not put an ACC team in there, but I just don't like the draws any of them get. Michigan State could end UVA early. Don't like Duke's matchup with ISU. If we play well, we could possibly get through Wisconsin, but not Wisconsin and Arizona back to back. Notre Dame won't shoot that well from 3 to make a deep run and Louisville can't score enough to make it. Just my 2 cents.

Fairly chalky with only 1s/2s. I think if there are lower seeds the ACC might sneak in with ND over UK or Carolina over zona
