With so many Blue Blood programs in the men’s basketball Final Four, the pre-game hype has started going to the dogs.
“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” brought back its puppy predictors on Wednesday’s show to settle which Final Four team will win the NCAA National Championship.
Four pairs of puppies representing the Final Four teams raced to a bowl of food with whoever reached it first determining the winner of the March Madness championship game.

Before the puppies went set off for the race, Fallon urged for a fair fight.
“No wandering, no butt-sniffing, let’s keep this clean” Fallon joked.
In a close nail-biter finish, the Tar Heel puppy team narrowly edged out Kansas for the win. The true competition picks up on Saturday, when Kansas and Villanova tip off the Final Four in New Orleans shortly after 6 p.m. EDT and UNC and Duke follow with the second semi-final at approximately 8:49 p.m. EDT.
