I've got Duke, Texas, North Carolina and Georgetown as my 4. With Carolina taking out Duke for the title.

With the exception of Carolina, my confidence level isn't too high about my picks. Seeing as I'm the 2 time defending champion in the pool that I get into every year with some of the local business folks in my area, I'm not feeling too confident about my prospects as a 3 time champ :(

Who's your final 4????

Mine:Tennessee, G-town, Memphis and UCLA

I have UCLA taking it all


ooff tennessee. dont they usually flame out early? obviously each year is different though

I havent really looked hard at the brackets yet, but i'll go with

North Carolina, UCLA, Texas and Kansas. 3 ones and a 2. really going out on a limb here.

I was very surprised to see 'Nova make it in. must've been one of the last teams to get the nod.

They have in the past but this year I really like their guard play---think it's gonna work for them

Think Nova made it simply because of how "deep" the Big East was this year.

FYI---I have WVU taking out DUKE!!!


I've picked 'nova to advance to the 2nd round to then be taken out by Vandy.
I'm ambivalent on my Mountaineers-I could see them possibly giving Duke a real good game, maybe even beating them, but I'm not sure they'll get past Arizona in the first round. If AZ starts bombing from trey-land I don't know that Huggins' man-to-man D will be able to stop them.

the reason I took WV over Zona is because of that D---they play tough and IMO Zona will have a tough time with that. I don't think Zona is going to get put back shots their used to getting.

Who is going to stop Alexander? the guy looks like a #1 pick the last 2 weeks. His dunk on robinson in the big east tourney was downright frightening.

That was amazing

no shit right? it was strange seeing a white dude dunk on a black dude. i dont want this to be construed the wrong way, but lets face it, you just do not see that very often.

Sticks has the highest vertical on uconns team. 6'9" and like a 40" vert. to get over him is just unreal.

I just noticed Oral Roberts U is something like 13th seed. I think they could go all the way.
They do have God on their side, after all.

Hey Doc, your WVU looked darn good!!! They almost didn't have to worry about playing Duke either. Being that my SU Orange is in the NIT (at least they had the #1 spot on Sports Center this AM) WVU is my team for the tourney......any special cheers or anything I should be doing???

Yea, the 'neers played from 3's ville and made it work. A good win with their biggest gun, Alexander being almost a non-factor.

As far as special cheers, drink copious quantities of cheap beer, hoot and holler and then burn a piece of furniture after a big win!!

Bring on the Dukkies.
