STAGE SET FOR FINAL FOUR

The NCAA Final Four 2010 schedule is here, with Duke’s 78-71 victory Sunday night over Baylor University providing some semblance of solace to those whose brackets were utterly destroyed by the Northern Iowa University’s jaw-dropping last minute victory over heavily-favored Kansas. At least one of your picks made it to the Final Four, right? The victory represents Duke’s first appearance in the Final Four since 2004, and, according to MSNBC, they are the only no. 1 seed to have made it this far. Joining Duke in the NCAA Final Four 2010 are Butler University, whose Bulldogs made it to the Final Four for the first time by upsetting top-seeded Syracuse on Thursday, then the Kansas State Bulldogs on Saturday; the West Virginia Mountaineers, who also upset a huge no. 1, Kentucky; and finally, the Michigan St. Spartans, who appeared last year in the Final Four, and made it to the Sweet 16 in 2008 as well
