The entire basketball season comes down to three games in a three-day period. We started with 351 Division I schools, cut down to 68 on Selection Sunday, and over the last two weeks, 60 games have cut the field down to the Final Four teams. We’re left with four of the marquee college basketball programs in the country: University of Wisconsin, University of Kentucky, Duke University and Michigan State University (MSU). These teams will play Saturday night in Indianapolis and the winners will play for the National Championship on Monday night.
