College Basketball Contest Tournament Bracket 2008 Brackets Contest

NCAA past results of the Men's Final 4

The Final Four has been not just one of the most popular college basketball events, but one of the most popular national events in the U.S. One of the reasons that makes it so popular is that the Final 4 is the culmination of a 64 team college basketball elimination tournament that weaves through many U.S. cities until only 4 teams are left standing. Usually by the time those 4 teams are left, they are tried, tested and hungry to win a national championship, this makes for really exciting basketball.
