No, I have not predicted the right final four even though I am a basketball fan. The thing about basketball is that it is sometimes unpredictable. There are injuries that may occur and there are times when great players are unable to perform just for a certain game.
These factors may not seem much but they can have a great effect on who will play in the finals eventually. This is one of the reasons why a lot of people are just hooked in playing basketball. The last two minutes can seem like a very short time but in basketball, it can be enough to make the other team take the lead. The small things can always change the outcome.
I can honestly say that I have not predicted all four of the teams in the Final Four. It is just too hard to be able to do that. When you are able to do it, it is a sheer example of luck. The reason for this is that there are so many upsets that take place during the course of the tournament. A good example of this is when Virginia was upset by the University of Maryland Baltimore County during this past year's NCAA tournament.
There were a huge amount of people who predicted that UVA would make the Final Four and a lot more even said that they would even go as far as winning the entire thing and becoming national champions. There is a little bit of handicapping skill and little bit of luck when it comes to predicting the correct Final Four. I myself can say that I have not done it. I have gotten two and three of them but not all four. Again, it is very difficult task to do but it certainly is not impossible.
