Quick bracket thoughts/predictions..

1) The Ucla pick is such a joke. No kidding they played better at the end of the year, they beat USC twice, Washington and wazzou, teams that won't even make the NIT.

2) I really like ND's draw. I think they go to the elite 8 and give Kentucky one hell of a game.

3) Michigan st beats UVA again, two years in a row.

4) I think Arizona either loses to Baylor, or beats them and gets revenge on Wisconsin and goes to the FF.

5) my final four: Kentucky, Baylor, Iowa st, Villanova. Kentucky over nova for the title.

Kentucky hardest game would be against MD...they will sodomize ND with their hideous defense


lots of bad selections-Indiana, ok state, ucla but the their were only two teams clearly more deserving

again, we had to be mediocre in the last 4 and went 0-4

Maryland couldn't handle Michigan State's big men no way they do anything against Kentucky's bigs, if Maryland even makes it that far.

Kentucky has a breeze to the Final Four, the number 2 seed was beat down by Kentucky earlier this year. UVA should be the 2 in this region if they had to make them a 2

Whirly - bold move picking Baylor. Clearly teams change as the season progresses, but the Illini beat them in the OOC and frankly, I'd take Pitt over Illinois right now.

Why would you match the best two against the number one overall seed? The best two plays the worst one.

I guess, that would have been an epic regional final however.

If they both win they will meet in the Final Four, semifinal game.

I think UVA is the team with the best chance to beat Kentucky. They keep the game close. For that reason,they also have the best chance of getting upset early of the two seeds.

yup I completely agree

I think that the West is the toughest bracket. I really like the way Zona, Wisconsin, Baylor are playing, I think I might have taken all 3 teams if they were in different regions.

I think nova is severely underrated, they are a really solid group and I think their draw isn't bad at all.

Not sure about Nova, but I think Wisky has a pretty clear path to the FF IMHO.

I've got UK, Wisky, Mich St and Iowa St

With UK winning it all.
