Ok Folks.... Here's where you can make your predictions:
Who do you have winning?
First Round sleepers?
This is probably the hardest year to predict a winner that I've seen in a LONG time. No team has really stood out this year. I frankly don't see that much difference in the Top 8 teams.
My heart will be pulling for Texas and UK, but... I don't really think either of them is good enough to go all the way. I wouldn't be shocked to see either or both of them make it to the Elite 8. But, that's about as far as they can go.
Of the teams I've seen this year, Michigan State has been as impressive as anyone, and I always root for Izzo in the Tourney. Plus, my son lives in Lansing now... so, I'm going to root for the Spartans. I have them beating a strong Kansas team in the Finals.
As for Cinderellas? I like Temple and UCONN. Also, watch out for Ark Little-Rock. They have a good team, and a pretty easy draw (Purdue and Iowa St). I could see them winning both of those game.
I don't see any 1/2's going out in the first round... Maybe Oklahoma. But, I see a bunch of 3's and 4's who aren't gonna make it. And, I wouldn't be shocked if the Yale'ies take out Baylor in the opening round.
Should be FUN! |

I'm heavy on the ACC...I think North Carolina is good enough to win it. That said, I think North Carolina, Virginia, and Miami all win their regions.
From the West, I have....Texas A&M!!! I think they surprise people and maybe get help with upsets in their region.
I've got Miami beating Texas A&M, and Virginia finally getting a win over NC
...and Miami over Virginia for the National Championship
Kansas is good enough to throw a wrench in my brackets...I don't know anything about Oregon basketball. Duke, Notre Dame, and UConn could surprise...I tend not to have faith in the Big XII teams this year. I expect someone to upset Oklahoma (maybe VCU??)
How good are Michigan State and Utah?? hmmm

I don't think A&M is very good
The SEC, overall, was weak this year. UK is only middling... And we should have beat A&M three times..
The Big 12 was VERY strong, top to bottom. For Kansas to come out on top says a lot about them.

Just figures.... I had a PERFECT bracket yesterday... but, this year, no one is playing. :-(
I still say, the Ark-Little Rock will win one more. Iowa State was barely 0.500 in the Big 12.
UK overpowered Stony Brook, who couldn't hit the side of a barn. Cal ran a full court press early in the game. Haven't seen that much this year. Indiana game should be a doozy.

Yale eliminating Baylor !!. IMO nothing is sweeter in college sports than when the student-athletes dump the athletes.

The next day, you're out with the trash. i need to get my son to move to Lexington. |
