Final Four Teams 2012

Final Four Teams 2012, It started with 68 teams trying to realize a dream. Now we’re down to four squads desperate to take home the hardware after coming so far.

The 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has been one of the most competitive and thrilling in recent memory. It’s been an incredible journey for the Louisville Cardinals, Kentucky Wildcats, Ohio State Buckeyes and Kansas Jayhawks. The tourney has come to its final destination and has four great teams ready to go for it all.

Every one of these teams have earned their way to New Orleans in a different way. Louisville wasn’t expected to be here, but after surprising Michigan State in the Sweet Sixteen and fighting from 11 down in the latter stages of the second half against Billy Donovan and Florida, Rick Pitino’s kids have shown serious mental toughness.

Kentucky has blitzed its adversaries, taking down Indiana and Baylor in convincing fashion last week. The Wildcats are the large and deserving favorites to win the title for the first time since 1998. However, an Bluegrass state battle with Louisville will be a massive hurtle, especially considering the discord between John Calipari and Pitino.

The schedule for the Final Four is as follows:

(4) Louisville vs. (1) Kentucky 6:09 p.m. ET on CBS

(2) Kansas vs. (2) Ohio State 8:49 p.m. ET on CBS
