4. Michigan State vs. Seton Hall – Final Four

Let’s take a look at two potentially fascinating Final Four matchups, starting with Seton Hall and Michigan State. This would mark the tenth trip to the Final Four for Michigan State under Tom Izzo, who is still seeking that second national championship to go with all of those appearances on the season’s final weekend.

These two teams actually met earlier in the season, with the Spartans escaping Newark with a three-point win back in November. The Pirates announced their presence on the national stage that day and they would love to get another crack at the Spartans with a trip to the title game on the line.

3. Dayton vs. Kansas – Final Four

This Final Four showdown would also be a regular-season rematch with Dayton taking on Kansas. These two teams met back in November at the Maui Invitational, with the Flyers giving Kansas all they could handle in a 90-84 loss.

That contest was the coming-out party for then unranked Dayton, which took the Jayhawks to overtime before relenting in the extra session. In the time since that game, Dayton had gone 24-1 with Obi Toppin emerging as a Player of the Year candidate so it would have been fun to see how the Flyers would have done with another crack at Kansas.
