Everyone knows by now that Jay Bilas is a Duke alum and he does a pretty decent job of keeping his biases to himself. He gets excited about a big Duke moment here and there and is generally better at hiding his homerism than fellow Dukie Jay Williams.
With Duke getting a lower-than-normal seed of four, Bilas could have pulled the "gotta have an upset" card and have them going all the way to the Final Four, but it seems he is beyond that. His Final Four is certainly top seed heavy, but doesn't feature an ACC team winning it all.

Good for Bilas to give it to the Big 12 champs both in the regular season and in the conference tournament. The Jayhawks have looked like a very complete team and Michigan State has been picked as one of the darlings to win the title yet again under coach Tom Izzo thanks to Player of the Year candidate Denzel Valentine.
Those two teams along with Texas A&M and UNC made the Final Four for Bilas and there's a strong chance they make it in real life too.
