We have officially survived the madness of March, and now we have the four teams who will head to Minneapolis for a chance to win it all.

The Final Four is set, and few could have seen this coming.

Coming off the Elite Eight we have ever witnessed, Michigan State, Texas Tech, Virginia and Auburn make up the 2019 Final Four that will be played in Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium.

There were no Cinderellas in this year’s version of March Madness. She got tired of standing in her glass slippers and took the last bus home before the buses stopped running at midnight. All eight of these teams were Cinderella’s sisters, who were battling each other to the brink to see which one would be the prettiest of them all.

That’s the best way I could sum up the 2019 version of the Elite Eight, and I am proud to say I was among the millions who were fortunate enough to witness it. Now, we have to put it in the past and focus on the Final Four, and here are your participants:

Two of these teams (Michigan State and Virginia), were always favored to get here, while the dark horse (Texas Tech) truly lived up to its name. Oh, and I guess Cinderella missed her connection, as Auburn is here as well.

All four of these teams have a great shot at taking the National Championship back to their respective campuses, and the Final Four promises to make the craziness of March look like a Disney film.

Who do you think will end up playing in the National Championship Game with the chance to cut down the nets and sing along to “One Shining Moment,” because it’s anyone’s Tournament at this point.

We are on to Minneapolis.
