Now this is a great time of the year. College basketball is at its finest and spring training baseball is on daily and when one ends the other begins, perfect planning. So, I'm going to try my best to breakdown the bracket to what I think is going to happen in the tournament.
MIDWEST
I'm taking Kansas over Lehigh like a normal person, UNLV over UNI. 5-12 Michigan St will beat up on New Mexico State and Maryland beats the Cinderella story Houston by 15-plus. Bruce Pearl and his magically suit beat San Diego and the Hoyas plow past Ohio. Georgia Tech with the upset special and Ohio State over UC Santa Barbara. Round 2. Bye-bye UNLV as Kansas moves into the sweet 16. Michigan St has flashes of earlier on in the year and beats Maryland, G'town beats Tennessee on a buzzer beater, yes I'm calling it. Finally, Evan Turner drops 25 in the win over Georgia Tech. Sweet 16. Tom Izzo and the Spartans shock the Jayhawks to move on and the Hoyas represent the Big East beating the Buckeyes. Elite 8. Georgetown and John the 3rd move into the final four with a 65-59 win over Michigan St.
WEST
Syracuse only wins by 10 over Vermont. Florida State beats an Gonzaga team that was once good this year and yes it's our first 12 over 5 upset with UTEP over Butler. Vanderbilt beats Murray State by 20 and Minnesota upsets Xavier with great defense. Pittsburgh gets the win against Oakland and BYU stomps over Florida who has no business in the tournament. And Kansas St beats North Texas. Round 2. 'Cuse over Florida St by 15 and UTEP over Vanderbilt so there's a sleeper for you. Pitt over the Gophers so they go back into their hole and BYU over Kansas St because Mormons have something or someone on their side. Sweet 16. Syracuse over UTEP cause the clock struck midnight. Pitt over BYU in an awesome game, if this actually happens then I think this game will be one of the best of the tournament. Elite 8. The Big East prevails again the 'Cuse avenges a loss this year to the Panthers making it to the final four.
Duke handles Pine-Bluff. Louisville over whatever Pac-10 team they play and the Aggies of Texas A&M over USU big time. Sienna over a weakening Purdue team and this upset will be huge. The Irish prevail shortly after Patty's day and beat Old Dominion. The Baylor Bears prove there's a good time in Texas this year beating Sam Houston and Richmond wins big, finally Nova kills whatever team they play, watch out. Round 2. Duke beats the Cardinals and Pittino goes back to his mistress. A&M beats the Sienna by 4 probably 75-71 again I'm calling my shot. Notre Dame beats the Big 12 Bears of Baylor and throw you're V's up for Villanova and Scotty Reynold as they roll past Richmond. Sweet 16. Duke finally makes it there with a solid victory over the Aggies and big Luke ends a great career losing to conference rival Villanova. Elite 8. This hurts big time but I don't think Nova can handle the big men that Duke has and yes, it's happening again, the Blue Devils will be in the final four, not that I hate them I just don't like seeing Nova lose.
EAST
Kentucky loses Eastern Tennesee, just playing Texas chokes again to Wake Forrest and Cornell is the other 12 over the 5 beating Temple. The Badgers badger the Wofford team back home, yea I know it's bad and marquette gets upset by Washington, I just have a feeling, remember the disclaimer earlier? New Mexico Lobos, I believe, over Montana and Clemson beats up on Mizzou. The Mountaineers stay hot and win by 25 I'll say. Round 2. John Wall and company dances into the sweet 16 with a win over Wake Forrest. Cornell is another underdog in the sweet 16 with a win over Wisconsin. New Mexico over Washington and I wanted to have them in but the Huskies just don't have 2 upsets in them. WVU and sweatpant wearing Bob Huggins win against Clemson. Sweet 16. Kentucky over Cornell to move past another Cinderella story. New Mexico loses to West Virginia as they stay hot still. Elite 8. Kentucky and their young talented squad move into the Final Four with a tough win over the Mountaineers.
RECAP
Final Four- Duke, Kentucky, Georgetown, Syracuse
Elite 8- West Virginia Kentucky, Villanova, Duke, Georgetown, Michigan St
Now I haven't picked a national champion yet because I wanna make sure all my picks make it through Friday once that happens I'll come back and if my final four is intact I'll proceed with the Final Four picks and all that nonsense for whoever cares.
