The 2011 March Madness betting tournament is entering its final stretch, as the Final Four teams in the tournament have been determined. While most fans betting on March Madness couldn't have predicted that these four teams would make up the Final Four, we can't help but feel a little bit cheated as to how the two semi finals will shape up. In the first semi final, you have a battle of the long shots, as Butler takes on VCU. Conversely, in the other semi final, you have heavyweights Kentucky taking on UConn. In an ideal world, we would have rather seen the heavyweights take on the long shots in the semi finals and seen the two best teams truly come out of the games. Today we look at the Final Four teams in the March Madness tournament.

This Saturday's Final Four March Madness round, marks a changing of the guard, as none of the four teams are number one or two seeds, which is a first for the tournament. In fact, the one returning team from last season's Final Four, the Butler Bulldogs, are ranked lower than they were in last season's tournament!

Looking at all four teams and you will see that the Butler Bulldogs and VCU Rams, at least on paper, have no business in theory being in the Final Four. Between the two schools they have a combined three appearances in the Final Four with one finals appearance. Conversely, the Kentucky Wildcats and Connecticut Huskies are two of the most storied programs in the NCAA and have more than enough experience in big games.

In our opinion, we would like to see the VCU Rams Cinderella story continue on to the National Title game, while the Connecticut Huskies save the Big East, by winning the entire tournament. Recall at the start of the tournament, the Big East Conference became the first conference to have 11 teams qualify for March Madness. However, by the Sweet 16, Connecticut was the only remaining Big East team.
