Before Isaiah Livers\u2019 foot injury, before the Wolverines struggled down the stretch. It is wide open now, with SEC Tournament champion Alabama, the second seed, and Big 12 Tournament winner Texas, at No. 3, both capable of reaching the final weekend. So is No. 4 Florida State and BYU, under-seeded as a six. Seventh-seeded UConn and Brooklyn\u2019s James Bouknight can do damage. LSU, too talented to be an eighth seed, can make noise as well. The survivor won\u2019t be a surprise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Four_pick_Florida_State\"><\/span>Final Four pick: Florida State<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Florida State may have been the best team in the country last year, had there been an NCAA Tournament. It will get to the Final Four this year. Coach Leonard Hamilton will use recent losses to Notre Dame and Georgia Tech as a kick in the butt for his team, which takes advantage of Livers\u2019 absence in the Sweet 16 against Michigan and, behind fantastic freshman Scottie Barnes, edges Alabama in a classic Elite Eight <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Player_to_Watch_Cameron_Thomas_LSU\"><\/span>Player to Watch: Cameron Thomas, LSU<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fourth-ranked scorer in the country at 22.8 points per game, Thomas is one of the premier NBA prospects in the tournament. At 6-foot-4, he\u2019s a big guard who lives at the free-throw line and makes LSU a dangerous eight-seed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unsung_Player_McKinley_Wright_IV_Colorado\"><\/span>Unsung Player: McKinley Wright IV, Colorado<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Put the 6-foot guard on one of the big-name teams in the Pac-12, or any of the other power conferences, and he\u2019s a household name. The senior is smart, skilled and poised. He will score or set up his teammates, depending on what the situation calls for. Don\u2019t forget this name when the draft comes along.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_first-round_matchup_No_7_UConn_vs_No_10_Maryland\"><\/span>Best first-round matchup: No. 7 UConn vs. No. 10 Maryland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An East Coast battle between two programs looking to regain their place among college basketball\u2019s elite.
