ESPN's Seth Greenberg Predicts Final Four of NCAA Tournament

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Chris Phelps | Last updated Mar 19, 2025 6:30 AM ET

After a successful 34-year coaching career, ending with the Virginia Tech Hokies in 2011, Seth Greenberg joined ESPN as a college basketball analyst. And, just like many others, he has filled out his bracket.

Greenberg never got to enjoy a trip to the Final Four, winning just one game in three trips to the NCAA Tournament. But the Fairleigh Dickinson alum believes he knows who will be making it to San Antonio, Texas, for this year's Final Four.

Greenberg has No. 2 Michigan State Spartans taking down No. 1 overall seed Auburn Tigers in the South Region to reach the Final Four. Both teams had a similar ending to their seasons, falling in the semifinals of their respective conference tournaments.

Facing Michigan State, Greenberg has the No. 1 seed Florida Gators coming out of the West Region. Unlike the Spartans, Florida got hot at the right time and cruised through the SEC Tournament to win the title.

Moving to the East Region, Greenberg has No. 1 seed Duke Blue Devils advancing to the Final Four. Duke won the ACC championship despite missing Cooper Flagg for the final two games. Fellow freshman Kon Knueppel stepped up and won ACC Tournament MVP.

Finally, Greenberg has No. 2 seed Tennessee Volunteers out of the Midwest Region facing Duke in the Final Four. Tennessee knocked off Auburn in the SEC Tournament but lost to Florida in the championship.

Greenberg ends his bracket picking Florida to defeat Duke for the national championship, which shouldn't come as a surprise given the rest of the "College GameDay" crew's predictions.

The ENTIRE College Gameday crew is in agreement:

Rece Davis, Jay Bilias, Seth Greenberg, and Jay Williams all have the Florida Gators winning the National Championship, they just announced on ESPN.

Florida has had an impressive season, finishing 30-4 on the year, with two of their losses coming against top-ten opponents. The Gators were able to defeat five top-ten teams as well, two of which were against No. 1 squads (Auburn and Tennessee).
