Time to fess up - what are your Final Four picks?

[eazyb81]

Let's get some picks verified now before everyone tries to claim that they had Siena going to the Final Four. :D

Go ahead and list your picks for the Final Four and National Championship, but also feel free to list any upsets that you like.

Here's mine:

Louisville
Georgetown

Memphis
UCLA

Georgetown over UCLA in the NC game

[Reerun_KC]

UNC
KU

Texas
UCLA

KU over UCLA in the title game... This time UCLA has to leave and play outside of their homecourt.

[the Talking Can]

it's harder then ever this year to not pick the 4 #1's, even though that outcome is improbable....

I have several brackets, but the one I like the most has:

Memphis (great guards)
Tennessee (most clutch shooter: Lofton)
UCLA (great guards)
Kansas (great guards)

i think you need great guards (plural!) to advance...

[Nzoner]

In the Planet Challenge I've got

UNC
Georgetown

Texas
UCLA

I've got UCLA beating UNC for the championship.

I almost advanced Pitt over Texas,guess we'll see.

[jAZ]

Stanford, UCLA, Georgetown and UNC.

UCLA over UNC for NC.

[Reerun_KC]

In the Planet Challenge I've got

UNC
Georgetown

Texas
UCLA

I've got UCLA beating UNC for the championship.

I almost advanced Pitt over Texas,guess we'll see.
You have GT beating KU?

GT matches up well with KU, but we have depth that they dont....

[Reerun_KC]

Man the love for UCLA, they wouldnt even be a 1 seed if it wasnt for some great officating...

I acutally wish I didnt put them in the final... Can they keep that "LUCK" up for 6 more games?

[FD]

UCLA
Texas

Kansas
UNC

UCLA over UNC to take it. I worry that its too safe, 3 1-seeds and a 2-seed, but I still really think those are the best teams.

[gblowfish]

There are other teams in the tournament besides Kansas?

[eazyb81]

In the Planet Challenge I've got

UNC
Georgetown

Texas
UCLA

I've got UCLA beating UNC for the championship.

I almost advanced Pitt over Texas,guess we'll see.

Nice, I didn't even realize we had a board challenge this year.

Just added my bracket. :thumb:

[eazyb81]

You have GT beating KU?

GT matches up well with KU, but we have depth that they dont....

GTown is a hard style to prepare for, and can frustrate teams like KU that like to get out and run.

Also, I think depth is highly overrated in the NCAA tournament - you need go to players that know their role.

[Otter]

North Carolina
Wisconsin

Stanford
UCLA

If Wisconsin makes it that far I'm golden, I think I'm the only one who picked them to make it to final four.

:D

[Reerun_KC]

UCLA
Texas

Kansas
UNC

UCLA over UNC to take it. I worry that its too safe, 3 1-seeds and a 2-seed, but I still really think those are the best teams.
I told you to stop looking at my bracket!

Except, the homer has KU winning it all! :D

[Nzoner]

You have GT beating KU?

GT matches up well with KU, but we have depth that they dont....

Just like a KU fan,presuming I've even got KU going to the Elite 8. :D

[Demonpenz]

Clemson North carolina UCLA MEMPHIS

[Reerun_KC]

Just like a KU fan,presuming I've even got KU going to the Elite 8. :D
Hey what can you say? I am a true homer.... Sorry!

[Nzoner]

Hey what can you say? I am a true homer.... Sorry!

No apologies necessary,good for you,I sure as hell am not apologizing for having 5 brackets each with a different team knocking KU out.

[Reerun_KC]

:cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: I Hope you have to drink warm beer today!

[ROYC75]

UNC
KU

Texas
UCLA

KU over UCLA in the title game... This time UCLA has to leave and play outside of their homecourt.

I have these same teams, I'm partial to the B12, but I really think there is a great chance KU plays Texas in the championship game. KU wins :D

[Nzoner]

:cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: I Hope you have to drink warm beer today!

Leaving for the casino in 30 minutes,$5 ice cold pitchers of Blue Moon and Blvd Wheat and one of the best pizzas I've ever had for $7.77.

Now if a #1 would lose to a #16 and I hit a Royal Flush on Video Poker it'd be a perfect day. :)

Thanks USC. There goes that part of my bracket. :cuss::cuss::cuss:

I didn't know they were THAT young when I picked them to beat Wisconsin and whoever I had beating Georgetown... Oh well, it was a lot like Vermont/Syracuse a couple of years ago... the first game was the most dangerous. However, unlike Vermont, KSU could win a couple more and save that side of the bracket for me.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

KU, UNC, Texas and UCLA.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Trent Johnson getting tossed severely hurt my chances with Stanford.

The fact they just beat a team the quality of Marquette without having their head coach on the sidelines reaffirms my belief the Cardinal are going deep in this tourney.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Great job everybody. Nobody got the final four right this year.

[Bearcat]

Great job everybody. Nobody got the final four right this year.

But, but, but.... my Complete Idiot's Guide to the March Madness Bracket Pool said not to put all 1s into the Final Four. :deevee:

Who knows, maybe a 16 seed will win a game next year :hmmm:

[1ChiefsDan]

[OnTheWarpath15]

North Carolina

3/4 isn't bad......

[Direckshun]

I got all four, bitch.

[Ultra Peanut]

Well hey, how was I supposed to know Georgetown would run into a ****ing powerhouse of a 10-seed?

[EyePod]

The only one that I had wrong was missing Memphis. I had Pitt instead (and this was b4 Bob Knight).

[Mr. Plow]

I'll take 3 of 4.

[TEX]

North Carolina
Georgetown

Memphis
UCLA

UCLA to win it all.

Well I got 3 out of 4 and I'm gonna stick with UCLA only because I picked them to begin with, but IMHO Memphis is the best team. Being a U of H alumni, I saw them play several times this year in person and felt they were good, but the rest of C-USA wasn't. It doesn't matter - they're that good.

The thing that could get them though is FT%...It did in my Coogs, with Olajuwon and Drexler, back in the day. If it got them, it can certainly get Memphis too.

[BWillie]

I got all four, bitch.

PUSSY

I was going to do that, tried to mix it up though by putting Texas in there. Got close. I think next year I'm going to pick absolutely no upsets. You know nobody is doing that. I bet out of all the possibilities that could occur in the tournament that is still the most likely occurence.

[Simply Red]

UNC
KU

Memphis
UCLA.
