The original Final Four picks on this end were North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA and Texas. Don't see any reason to change them now.

Here's the calls for the other four regional semifinals: Louisville, Davidson, Xavier and Memphis.

Louisville is playing exceptionally well right now, and be able to force enough turnovers to get a jump on Tennessee.

Wisconsin is the class of the Big Ten, and the Badgers are exceptionally well-coached. But Davidson has Stephen Curry, who is making me feel foolish for listing him only as a second-team All-American.

Xavier has balance, depth and a strong defense in far greater quantities than either Arizona or Duke did. West Virginia won't flop, but the Musketeers will earn the right to lose to UCLA in the West regional final.

Memphis has prompted teams to resort to junk defenses and grind-it-out approaches. Michigan State plays that way, anyhow. It would not surprise me in the slightest to see the Spartans KO the Tigers in Houston tomorrow night.
