KRYSTEN PEEK: It's been a wild ride through the tournament so far, full of upsets, buzzer beaters, and downright fun moments. So with the Final Four set to begin this weekend, let's take a look at why these teams aren't just the best, but also the most exciting teams in the tournament, presented by Captain Morgan.
Let's start off with the number one overall seed, Gonzaga. This team is a cheat code. A strong inside presence, check. Great outside shooting, check. Tenacious on defense, check. The Zags remain undefeated, and have beaten every team in the tournament by an average of 20 points. Gonzaga is looking to be the first team to go undefeated and win a national title since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers.
Gonzaga will face number-11 UCLA. What a run the Bruins have made. They have gone from the First Four to the Final Four. This UCLA team has a ton of heart, and have won two overtime games already in this tournament. They might just have a little bit of Cinderella magic left to pull off the biggest upset of the entire year.
On the other side of the bracket is the battle of Texas, with number-one Baylor squaring off with number-two Houston. The Baylor Bears are playing some of the best basketball they've played all season, with incredible on-ball defense and limiting second-chance points with their elite rebounding.
Houston makes its first Final Four appearance since 1984, and have high-level guards in the backcourt who have been knocking down big shots down the stretch in close game. This is a game that will be a back-and-forth battle and could come down to the wire, which we all love.
