March Madness Bracket 2012: Updated For Final Four

The Final Four have been determined to go to New Orleans next Saturday, and it's likely we've all wadded up the predictions we've printed since March Madness first began. But for those of you still willing to put yourself out there and stake your name on another bracket, we have an updated Final Four bracket for you:

Get your new printable, updated bracket from SB Nation here.

The Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals are going to be the most compelling of the two national semi-finals, but all of the final four teams are nationally known brands and should hold interest for all. With Hall of Fame caliber coaches and NBA prospects galore, this should be a wild weekend.

First National Semifinal: No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats vs. No. 4 Louisville Cardinals (6:09 p.m., CBS)

Second National Semifinal: No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks vs. No. 2 Ohio St. Buckeyes (8:49 p.m., CBS)

March Madness Schedule 2012: Elite 8 Gets Underway Saturday

Baylor fans are still probably on cloud nine after watching the Bears advance to the Elite 8 on Friday night, but they'll have to wait until Sunday to see the Bears take on the top-seeded Kentucky Wildcats. In the meantime, though, there are two Final Four tickets waiting to be punched on Saturday -- and both games are certainly worth watching for any basketball fan.

The West regional will be the first to conclude, as the No. 7 seed Florida Gators take on the No. 4 seed Louisville Cardinals in the only regional final not to feature a No. 1 seed. Instead, we're left with a mentor vs. student story, as Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan go head-to-head for the first time in the NCAA tournament. Tip off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. CT.

The East regional will also conclude on Saturday night, as the top-seeded Syracuse Orange take on the No. 2 seed Ohio State Buckeyes. Tip off is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. CT.

The Baylor Bears are headed to the Elite 8, but your bracket probably doesn't even have half of the Elite 8 teams correct. That's OK -- neither does mine. Luckily for all of us, the good folks over at SB Nation have us covered with an up to date, printable bracket ready to roll.

While the Elite 8 lacks a true Cinderella this year, Louisville and Florida need not apply, there have been plenty of major upsets along the way, notably Norfolk State and Lehigh, two No. 15 seeds, ousting a pair of No. 2 seeds, Missouri and Duke, during the first two days of the tournament.

Those who filled out brackets with either Kentucky or North Carolina winning are still in luck, and likely, atop your bracket leaderboards. Still, it's nice to have a clean bracket to follow along with -- so print one out as the Elite 8 tips off on Saturday afternoon.
