Well it's time to bust out the crystal ball!
Let the madness begin.
Here are some picks--
My final four are Kentucky, 'Cuse, Missouri and North Carolina.
I'm looking at the veins in my hands right now
and I'm not seeing any little ones- just the big guys.
Hence, I think it will be a tournament dominated by the top seeds.
(we'll see what happens)
I also have Harvard coming out of the first round- some Ivy League love.
I'm feeling reluctant on my BYU boys.
I think if anything they'll win with a huge comeback-
not likely though.
As for the winner of the big dance, I gotta go with the Orangemen at Syracuse.
With a names like Scoop, good things gotta happen.
Mike Bouchard--
Ladies and Gentlemen...I have returned.
I apologize for my leave of absence
but adult life can take a back seat to March Madness.
Gonna give my Final Four, my Championship, and my Champion.
Please be kind because we all know nothing makes sense in college hoops come March.
So my Final Four goes as follows...
South- Kentucky
I don't see the average performance in the SEC tournament as a problem.
Easily the most talented team in the country.
Can coach Cal finally get over the bump is the biggest question.
He can motivate guys like none other,
but can he tweak his message the right way this time?
East-Syracuse
Again, great team with a weak conference tourney.
They have size, guard play, and leadership.
Top team throughout the year, tough conference,
and top two team going into the tournament.
West-Missouri
Why not? Good guards, drive the lane well, and can shoot.
I think they have been a top ranked team that nobody wants to believe in all year.
Give me some English.
Midwest- Kansas
I hate doing this because I know how Kansas performs come March,
but I think they have a decent chance against another overrated ACC team in North Carolina.
This would be the least confident pick I have.
Championship- Kentucky and Syracuse
Two top squads with great players.
Champion-Kentucky
Too much for Syracuse and coach Cal finally earns his first championship.
He rides Anthony Davis like he did Marcus Camby from his days at UMass.
Yes, I am probably one of the only people my age who remembers those days.
Sleepers-
These would be my teams that can make some noise.
Not saying they will pull a VCU or George Mason, but they can win a few.
Memphis
Florida
Murray St.
Cincinnati
Ohio
NC St
And lastly...the teams I am pulling for based on a personal bias
Marquette
Connecticut
Murray St.
