Free Press sports writers make NCAA tournament predictions for 2022 March Madness bracket, with the Final Four in New Orleans at the Caesars Superdome.
Mitch Albom
Final Four prediction: Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Wisconsin.
Champion: Kentucky.
Why: John Calipari has a mix of young and old (for a change) and Oscar Tshiebwe is a force. Duke gets four rounds, but runs short of magic for Coach K. Wisconsin reps the Big Ten, but falls shy in the final.
Michael Cohen
Final Four: Gonzaga, Kentucky, Iowa, Arizona
Champion: Gonzaga
Why: The Zags were viewed as the best team in the country before the season began, and I suspect they'll finish it that way, too.
