Then there were four...of the most unlikely teams in this tourney to play for the national championship.

Michigan State getting there with one heart attack after another. Izzo is a great coach and his kids show great poise (consider that 3 of the 4 wins that got the Spartans there were by a combined 6 points) but not having to play Kansas helped quite a bit as well. Though this being what the 6th final four in the last 12 years for Izzo I guess I should not be that surprised.

West Virginia, I mean really! Bob Huggins has not won anything since he paid...I mean "convinced" Kenyon Martin to come to Cincinnati. Then was run out of town, but that is not what I am here to talk about. These kids play good defense and caught KY on a night where they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Though to their credit that was the first time this tourney that WV gave up more than 60 points, that is impressive.

The Duke (UGH) Blue Devils as I have said from jump had the easiest road to the Final Four that I have seen in years. I guess the committee wanted to see Duke make their first run since 2001. Not one of the teams they faced were top competition AR-Pine Bluff, Cal, Purdue (remember no Robbie Hummel) and Baylor. Now Baylor can play don't get me wrong and had pushed Duke as hard as any of the other teams, but I still don't believe all those double digit wins would have come against some of the teams the other number ones had to play.

Finally the Cinderella Butler, this team has heart and plays great defense. With a freshman that has no fear (Mack) and a sophomore forcing pro scouts to look his way (Haywood) this team has a chance though slight to shock the basketball world. A great run for this team which now has the countries longest win streak at 24, they should have the confidence and the home court (Butler campus right around the corner from Indy) to make a strong push against Mich State.

Predictions: well since I burned my bracket, hence the title for this blog, I am not sure you should hold me to this. I am going to stick with the upset that I had going this far Butler. It will be a Butler, Duke final. You know what I want to rephrase that "It BETTER be a Butler, Duke final" cause I will not be able to stomach all the talk if Izzo and Coach K face off in the championship. Oh and I did not forget WV, they will NOT beat Duke.

So there you have it, burn your brackets, but sit back and enjoy what has been one of the most maddening March Madness' I have ever witnessed. This Final Four I feel will keep pace with what we have seen thus far.

Adam and Timmy are back for the FINAL weekend wrap-up. What?!?!?!? The FINAL weekend wrap-up? Fear not, we're just consolidating, you know the whole less is more thing, after all, we are in a recession.

No, it has nothing to do with money, just the fact that we thought we could bring you more of the information you want in one solid weekly show, rather then stretching it out to two days a week. Soooooo...listen up as Adam and Timmy spell out the changes for you and then talk about Coach K's encounter with the Boston Celtics Dancers (Shamrockettes was passed on by Wyc.)

The fellas also touch on a former family feud over at Gillette that was recently exposed between Tom Brady and Josh McDaniels and whether or not the Patriots "Franchise" is going to get a new deal before the start of the season. They also discuss what the Red Sox are going to do with Josh Beckett and whether or not he's still considered the ace of the staff or if there even is one at this point.

The Celtics are streaking (I said the Celtics, NOT the Celtics dancers, sorry boys) and the Bruins are still reeling from some hard hitting.

The shock of the night goes to Adam who is positioned as a possible front runner in the Wicked Pissa Dude March Madness bracket. If the Mountaineers of West Virginia can win one more game, Coach K might get knocked off the mountain. And a check of the Fantasy leagues continues to be kind to the Branco family.

In "almost" professional sports, Scotty Dukes and the WickedPissaDude.com Men's League basketball team won their first game of the season 69-62. GOOOOOOOOOO TEAM!!!

Don't forget, starting Wednesday night, the whole gang will be in the building for the show that is ONE DAY a week.

For that show, we want to hear from you. We'll be introducing a segment with questions from you. So, if you want to ask any member of the staff a question about ANYTHING shoot us an e-mail @ theshow@wickedpissadude.com , leave the question on our Facebook wall or give us a call and leave the question on the "Wicked Hot" Line (339)368-6223.

Have a great week.
