Tennessee failed to make school history by making the Elite Eight for the first time, but the Final Four is historic for another reason. This year marks the first time that all four No. 1 seeds have made it to the final round. That means no Cinderalla in the final dance of the year, depsite Davidson's commendable effort against Kansas. Here's how I expect the rest of the tournament to shake out.

Memphis Tigers vs. UCLA Bruins, Saturday, 6:07 p.m. ET

Memphis definitely has the most talented team left. UCLA is the most experienced with this being their third straight Final Four appearance. This game is a rematch of sorts for both programs. The Bruins beat the Tigers in the 2006 Elite Eight 50-45. The Bruins also beat the Tigers 87-66 in Memphis’ only national title game appearance in 1973. UCLA is 4-2 all-time against Memphis.

Look for Memphis to turn it around this year though. They had to grind it out against a defensively talented Mississippi State team in the second round. Although they blew out Michigan State and Texas, the Tigers are probably still hungry since they realize that business is not finished. Their style of play and the speed they possess gives them the edge they need to knock the Bruins off in a close game. 

One advantage UCLA has, however, will be the battle between Joey Dorsey and Kevin Love. Love is one of the better freshmen this year, and his well-developed skill set gives him an edge over Memphis inside.  Dorsey is a great rebounder and shot-blocker but don’t look for anything on the offensive end. He has terrible footwork, which will cause him to get into foul trouble against the physical Love.

Love won't be enough though, and Memphis will move on. 

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Kansas Jayhawks, Saturday, 8:47 p.m. ET

The storyline of this game is Tar Heels coach Roy Williams coaching against his former team. UNC is Williams' alma mater, and his decision to leave was vindicated after he won a national championship in his second season on Chapel Hill.

Williams has the Associated Press’ Player of the Year in Tyler Hansbrough, but Ty Lawson's talent and athleticism at guard might be just as important for them. Not many players can defend Lawson’s quickness, and it will be a key factor in the game.

Kansas’ 3-point shooting will be another key area to watch. Brandon Rush is a career 44 percent shooter from behind the arc and Mario Chalmers hits at 48 percent. The Jayhawks defense only allows opponents to hit 38 percent of their shots.

North Carolina will win the game, but it definitely won't be easy.

That leaves Memphis to take on North Carolina Monday night.

Your national Champ will be...

North Carolina.

The matchups that will dominate this game are Hansbrough against Dorsey and Lawson against Derrick Rose.

Rose made Texas’ D.J. Augustin look like a child in their Elite Eight face-off, but I don’t believe he will be able to take advantage of Lawson. As for the big men, this is another game where Dorsey could get into foul trouble against another talented big man.

Memphis has done a great job so far of proving doubters wrong about their terrible free throw shooting. I have to believe this is the game where the free throw line hurts them.

The coaching edge undoubtedly goes to Williams. Memphis coach John Calipari has had success in the past, but I am not convinced he is as good as many advertise him to be. He's an excellent recruiter but a mediocre basketball strategist and overall coach. I know I will catch a lot of heat for that comment and honestly, I don’t care.

I have said it before -- Calipari rarely adjusts what another team is doing, so don't be surprised to see UNC mix it up.

Utlimately though, North Carolina will win the game simply because they have been more battle tested over the season.
