2014 NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship Game

Men's Basketball National Championship - Monday April 7, 2014 8:00PM - AT&T Stadium - Arlington, TX


So now that we've got the game schedule posted for all you bracketology nuts let us pour out some of our predictions and teams to look out for come March 18th. As of right now the official Top 10 teams are Florida, Wichita State, Arizona, Duke, Virginia, Villanova, Syracuse, Kansas, Wisconsin, and San Diego State respectively.

Of these teams we believe Florida and Arizona have the best chance at getting to the Final Four in Arlington, TX. Yes Wichita State has been a great team and could find themselves at AT&T Stadium however we believe their undefeated run will only make it through the Sweet 16 to the Elite 8 of this years bracket.

Teams having legitimate potential to make a run towards a 2014 Final Four appearance and possible National Championship include Duke, Syracuse, and don't sleep on Louisville as having an outside shot as repeat champions. The rest of the Top 25 has some very dangerous threats who could easily knock out some of the higher seeds late in the tournament if they can make it through the early rounds. A deep Iowa Hawkeyes team, a surging North Carolina Tar Heels squad, the veteran led Creighton Bluejays, and an experienced Cincinnati Bearcats roster could all make noise in this years tournament. Keep in mind the Memphis Tigers, Michigan State, and Oklahoma as well.

Nobody knows how the bracket will look when it's all over however you can be sure the excitement and intensity will be high as ever in this annual win or go home basketball tourney.
