ESPN.com writers Pat Forde, Andy Katz, Dana O'Neil and Mark Schlabach have arrived in Detroit and are ready to give you the answers to the weekend. Who wins? Who stands out? Our experts give you their predictions.
What are you most looking forward to?
Forde: I'm most looking forward to finding out how big the Michigan State home-court advantage is and whether that can tangibly aid the Spartans in pulling an upset of powerful Connecticut.
Katz: Seeing how much of an advantage Michigan State has inside spacious Ford Field.
O'Neil: I'm anxious to see whether Villanova can avoid getting sucked into an up-and-down game with North Carolina and instead make this the down and dirty kind of game that has been the Wildcats' trademark in this NCAA tournament. If they can, the Cats have a chance. If they can't, they'll have a tough time.
Schlabach: The crowd's reaction when Michigan State takes the court at Ford Field. This city needs something good to happen, and Spartans coach Tom Izzo is capable of getting it done in his school's home state.
If you had to start your own team, which player from the Final Four would you pick?
Forde: Hasheem Thabeet. Go big, and go defense.
