And then there are four. Only four teams are left standing in the 2022 NCAA Tournament: the Duke Blue Devils, North Carolina Tar Heels, Kansas Jayhawks, and the Villanova Wildcats. These are royal blood of college basketball, so expect an all-out, barnburner pair of games this coming weekend, especially in the Duke-North Carolina contest where the stake is at an all-time high in the history of that bitter rivalry.

Expert Picks and Predictions for the 2022 NCAA Final Four Stage of the March Madness Tournament
Bleacher Report – Kerry Miller
Predicts: Duke vs. Kansas Final
Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report is expecting to see Mike Krzyzewski continue his farewell tour with a win over the Tar Heels in the 2022 March Madness Final Four round. For Miller, Duke’s loss to North Carolina in the regular-season finale was more of a “wake-up call” for the Blue Devils than it was a statement victory for the Tar Heels. Over in the other matchup, Miller believes that the absence of Justin Moore – out with an Achilles injury – is too big for the Wildcats to overcome a tough team in the form of the Jayhawks.
College Football News – Pete Fiutak
Predicts: Duke vs. Kansas Final
Similar to Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report. Pete Fiutak of College Football News is picking the Blue Devils and the Jayhawks to pass their respective tests in the 2022 March Madness Final Four stage. For Fiutak, Duke’s much better offense will be the biggest factor in the Blue Devils’ matchup against North Carolina, while Kansas’ well-rounded game will be the key to Bill Self’s team’s win over Jay Wright’s Wildcats.
Sporting News — Bill Bender
Predicts : Duke vs. Kansas Final
Bill Bender of Sporting News offers the perspective that Duke will be trailing the Tar Heels at the half but will turn it on in the final 20 minutes with Paolo Banchero and 7-footer Mark Williams leading the charge. Bender is also seeing a tight battle in the other matchup, with the Jayhawks outlasting Villanova, thanks to a stout defense in the second half. Kansas has indeed played some great defense over its last two games. It has held its last couple of opponents to just a total of 111 points.

Predicts : Duke vs. Kansas Final
This site’s resident expert is also predicting a Duke-Kansas showdown in the 2022 national title game. The Duke-North Carolina showdown in the Final Four is a can’t-miss ball game, and it’s going to be the Blue Devils who will be waltzing their way to the championship round primarily because of its efficient offense and equally effective defense. Meanwhile, Kansas is simply going to overpower the Wildcats because of its advantage in depth after Villanova lost Justin Moore to a serious lower-body injury.
