Who are your Final Four?

I have UCLA, UNC, Stanford, and Kansas

My title game is UNC v. UCLA with the Bruins taking number 12 back to Poly Pavilion
 
UNC, G'town, Memphis, Duke.

UNC and Memphis

Winner Tigers.
 
Really I think Memphis will falter and lose to Stanford/ G'town is a very legit pick if they play well they could win it. UNC is prolly faves. Duke, I love them but this aint their year
 
I used to live in NC when I was in the Army. You'd never know Duke existed until UNC gets knocked out. I wanted to pick the Dukies but it's tough this year. Maybe the early scare will get them going. I'm a big fan of Coach K. RE: Memphis, don't count out Callapari.

I love Coach K, he has it all the proper playing exp. undercoaching, and a perfect institution to coach at. I believe he is a disciple of Bob Knight, who let's face it could coach a team of donkeys to the win. Have you seen him on ESPN, great analysis and stories, must be getting a few mil too, reccommend it though. Memphis is the reason I count out Callapari he somehow lost with UMASS in 96 with Camby et al. and was shitty with the Celts, that said he is obviously a more than decent coach, I just don't think he will come through for Memphis plus I dont think Memphis are good enough, if Stanford doesnt take them down, UCLA surely will
 
I wouldnt mind seeing Georgetown pull it off mind you, they are do a big run and when Hibbert is on, he is the Yao Ming of college Bball
 
Picked UNC, Georgetown, Texas, and UCLA, with UNC defeating UCLA in one pool.

My other pool has the same final four but has Georgetown defeating UCLA.

I went 14-2 in both pools last night, missing out on BYU and George Mason.
 
My final four were Tennessee, Kansas, Memphis, and UCLA--with Kansas beating UCLA for the title.
On Thursday, I overestimated the talents of George Mason and Arizona, and forgot that this isn't a real Kentucky team. (13-3)
 
I have UCLA, Kansas, Texas and UNC.

Texas and UNC to go to the finals.

UNC to win it.

But now I'm not so sure. The whole seeding seems to be pointless this season with all the upsets.
 
Sweet 16 starts tonight! There are some really big games tonight and my hometown team is still in it, the Memphis Tigers. I hope they can make it further this season as they have in previous tourneys recently, but with their free throw percentage its going to be tough. I still see North Carolina or UCLA winning it all with my dark horse being West Virginia since Bob Huggins is a genius and he'll be a god in that state if he gets his alma mater a championship!

How's that OJ Mayo dude doing?

Next season's top draft?

No way, certainly will be Beasely out of K State(who knocked out USC in the 1st round), Love is pretty sick to but I bet he comes back.

In regards to Mayo, he reminds me of a taller version of Telfair, and he needs to stay in college another year if he wants to be a good NBA player, very talented though.

Incredible tournament wish it wasn't so spaced out, I'm younger than you but didn' they used to do it in two weeks, ehh who cares, I still love it
 
Kevin Love is the best player in college imo, don't know if it will translate all the way to the pros, but man can that kid play

Hansbrough is the player of year no doubt.

Beasley will be the best professional.

Come on Horns! DJ Augustin is the best PG in college.

Have to agree about Hansbrough as player of the year, still think Love is the better player, just not as experienced as TH.

In regards to Beasley, he certainly is talented enough to be the best pro, but that doesn't mean he will be by a long shot.

Hansbrough's dunk last night off that missed shot was the best play of the tournament so far.

It was nice I liked the Western Kentucky 3 to win at the buzzer in the first round more
 
Surprising for me as this year's NCAA tournament includes all of the number one seeds in the final four. You'd really not expect that. I was hoping Texas would've won to helped my bracket.
 
My Horns choked... again. How the hell Memphis decides to make free throws is beyond explanation. Now they're all talking shit. Really hope they get done over by UCLA.

It's actually the first time all four #1 seeds have made it to the FInal Four

Some people like to talk out of their ass, have seemed to be a lot of number 1s in the Final Four lately but this certainly has never happened. Reckon we will get 3 great basketball games out of it
 
Memphis and UCLA tip off in minutes let's go Bruins
 
Memphis is handling UCLA pretty easily. Their pace is unbelievable, if they go through UNC or Kansas is going to have trouble with it.

I had Memphis going all the way on my work brackets, and it might actually happen this time!

Kentucky and Miami are my teams though. :(
 
This is pissing me off poor performance by Collison and Love, and they are out in 3 minutes
 
This KU-UNC match is turning into a classic, from down 22 to down 4, let's go Tar Heels
 
Let's go Memphis!!!!!!!!

I grew up a Memphis State Tigers basketball fan(before they changed it to the Univ of Memphis!) and my dad was a season ticket holder, he and I loved going to the games. It was the only real sporting event in the city at the time and its good to finally see the team back in the final four, plus now in the title game!!

I know they'll pull it out and watch out for them next year, even with Rose and others gone, they have an amazing recruiting class coming in!
 
Memphis doing the business ... they deserve it if they pull it off. Rose has done a complete 180 from the first half.
