NCAA Tournament

by: Uncle_Buck

March is almost a religious holliday in our home.  I just finished my picks and am looking forward to an exciting tournament.  My heart breaks that Indiana will be leaving the tournament so early, but as Mike Davis says at the end of each season, "Next year will be great!"  Hopefully, with Steve Alford.

My Sweet 16 picks:

  • Duke
  • Texas A&M
  • Iowa - GO Alford GO
  • Texas
  • Memphis
  • Kansas
  • Gonzaga
  • Marquette
  • UCLA
  • Illinois - CHEERS FOR THE BIG 10!
  • U Con
  • Tar Heels
  • Tennessee
  • Villanova
  • Boston College
  • Ohio State - More BIG 10 cheers.

My Elite 8:

  • Duke - As sad as it seems.
  • Texas
  • Memphis
  • Marquette - My deepest upset; Perhaps solely due to their freshman sensation James from my home area.
  • U Con
  • Tar Heels
  • Boston College
  • Ohio State

Making it to INDIANAPOLIS

  • Texas
  • Memphis
  • U Con
  • Ohio State

The Championship Game

  • U Con beats Texas

And now for a few pre-tourney awards:

  • The "Over-Rated" trophy belongs to Duke
  • The "Don't over look me" honors rest on Boston College
  • The "Just wait till next year" award goes to Ohio State
  • The "I have a free ride" award goes to Memphis

    However, I will be cheering that they win the ATLANTA brackets for two reasons: (1) Big Ten and (2) You are correct, Alford.
