While we can't predict a winner, we do know that at both tournaments, there won't be a repeat champion. At the men's tournament, last year's winner, the Florida Gators, were knocked out of the competition early, which means they won't be snagging a second consecutive title this year. Instead, it'll be a battle between No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 UConn on Monday night.
