David Wright and Billy Wagner are both college hoops fans, and both gave me their Final Four predictions today. Let’s see who ends up being sharper:

Wagner’s Final Four is UCLA, Georgetown, Texas and Florida, with Georgetown winning it all.

Wright’s Final Four is Texas A&M, Florida, North Carolina and Kansas, with Carolina winning it all. Wright’s a big Tar Heels supporter. Wagner loves Duke.

Just so it’s on record, my tentative Final Four is Wisconsin, UCLA, Ohio State and Texas. Not sure on my winner yet, though.
