NCAA Final Four Picks

The Men's and Women's NCAA Basketball tourney is only a few days away. Several of you reading this thread are probably participating in office pools, or making your picks for fun on ESPN.com. It's too much to list your picks for the first few rounds, but who do you think will make it to the Final Four?

I'm picking Memphis, Texas, Washington, and Boston College. I've no real knowledge about how all the teams in the tourney play, that's just what my gut instinct told me as I was working out my tourney picks. I'm thinking Memphis and Washington will meet for the championship, and Memphis will win it all.

What say you, fellow college basketball fans?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

WVU is going to the final four. They are the only team I care about.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wichita State, Southern Illinois, Bradley and somebody else.

In all seriousness though I am looking for Bradley to be the giant killer in this tournament. KU better watch out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I've got Bradley beating Kansas in the first round. I go to Iowa State, and have seen them play numerous times throughout the Big XII season. They're a very scrappy, young team that could easily be upset by the glamor of the NCAA tourney.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Duke, Ohio State, Connecticut and Gonzaga in the final four, with Duke and Connecticut in the finals. Duke will win by 4.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've got Duke, UCLA, UConn, and Boston College. The only one of those I'm still having doubts about is UCLA. I'm already banking on Memphis bowing out in possibly the second round to Arkansas (because I'm allowed to be a homer on occasion ), but that's going to leave the region wide open.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I got Duke, UCLA, Villanova, and UConn in the Final Four. Then it's Villanova over Duke in the championship. It's all about Shuttlesworth Jesus.

FELIPE NO

I'm going against my beloved Arizona and I'm taking Villanova, UCLA, West Virginia, and UConn, with 'Nova beating UCLA in the final. UCLA is a lot more like a Big East team than a Pac-10 team, so it's pretty much an all Big East final.

For upsets...I like Pacific to beat Boston College and I think San Diego State will beat Indiana and Gonzaga to be the Sweet 16 Cinderella. I also like Wichita State over Tennessee (that is if they even make it past Winthrop).

I'm a college basketball junkie and have been running pools for years and I don't think I have ever seen so many people pick against a #1 seed as people are picking Oral Roberts over Memphis. Granted, it's not a huge margin of people, but it's enough to raise a flag.

Most amazing jew boots

On facebook (so for the high school and college crowd), you can run pools online and, so far, it's pretty convenient-looking. I'm now entering the fourth of its kind with my main group of friends in college, and I have won 2 of the last 3 years. The due factor is not on my side, but it's always fun. If Oral Roberts makes history... [insert ridiculous and/or dangerous action here].

Jam it back in, in the dark.

March Madness is here! We've already had our first upset with Oklahoma going down and Pacific is in OT with BC right now. Great first session.

The San Diego one is starting late because of a bomb threat. Nice.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Pacific just fell apart in the end. That would have been a huge upset.

I am glad WSU won, big egg on Dick Vitales face now. Man I can't stand that guy. Big East/ACC bias that he has.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow, INCREDIBLE first day! I wasn't glued to the TV, but I did happen to catch a lot of great finishes. Indiana was lucky to have San Diego State fall apart at the end, but that was admittedly a clutch 3-pointer for Indiana to make after they had their own shot blocked. Gonzaga, among other teams (and my bracket!) survived a lot of scares today.

My bracket, so far, is 14-2. I didn't guess the outcomes of the Wichita St./Seton Hall and Nevada/Montana games correctly, but neither of those winning teams should have a lasting impact on my Sweet 16 and on.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My brackets are toast, I finished the day at 10-6 and lost 3/4 in the Minneapolis region. I also lost two of my Sweet 16 teams. Rough, rough day.

Most amazing jew boots

So far, I'm 13-3, so it's a damn good start. Also, I don't have any of the missed picks going farther than the second round, so no big loss there. And to comply with the thread I have UCLA, Duke, BC, and UConn in the Final Four, with UConn and Duke advancing, finishing up with a UConn victory. Not too damn original, but I'm not trying for that. I just want to win, and I'm going with the odds, mainly.

Except for Texas A&M and Wisconsin-Milwaukee mother fuckers!

How ya doing, buddy?

It was a great day of march madness. So many ridiculous finishes. It was fun to watch. I had Syracuse head to my Sweet 16, that one down. That Alabama/Marquette game was crucial. I had Marquette, but that game was crazy close. My roommate said in his radio show before to pick Montana over Nevada; too bad neither he nor I listened to him. My bracket is still in good shape though. Sko'. 13-3, but it's underdog scoring: 17 points so far.

FELIPE NO

Kansas, Boston College, Connecticut, and Duke. Final Four Winner: Kansas. OK, so this is a young team that I'm picking to take it all, but what can I say, I like the Jayhawks.

Yeah, the action in today's matches was crazy. I was pulling for Winthrop over Tennessee as a major upset, but with a miracle 2-pt shot, Tennessee moved on...Boston College and Pacific match was an adrenaline rush right there, double overtime, but BC pulled out the win. I called UW-Milwaukee to win, and I'm damn proud of that call. 11-5 after the first day.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

13-3 today. Slipped up on Syracuse/Texas A&M (and I also had the Orange going to the Sweet 16 ), Wichita State/Seton Hall, and Indiana/San Diego State (which I really wanted badly after that 'Cuse loss, but..). I was so hoping I'd go 15-1, but those two night games got me. I'm quite happy that I did get Montana, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Bama though. With Facebook's underdog scoring, I'm sitting at 25 points and at the top of both of my pools.

Now I finally get to root on my team tomorrow. Go Hogs!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Mark it now Wichita State will beat Tennessee.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Phew, my team survived the first round today...not really survived, but manhandled Wisconsin. On to Villanova. :\

Did anyone see the finish of that Iowa/NWST game? Holy crap. They switched us over while the last play was going on, with about 7 seconds left. We were watching them just wrap up the Arizona/Wisconsin game and all of a sudden it was like HOLY SHIT THREE POINTER FOR THE WIN.

I love March.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah. Saw that. I almost crapped my pants. (In fact, I did, so...).

Frikkin' Bucknell eliminated another 1 of my Sweet 16 teams. That's 2 down. Grr.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Not a good day so far.. only 5-3. Iowa burned me pretty bad since I had them going to the Elite 8, and poor Arkansas.. I only had them into the Sweet 16 at least.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Woohoo midmajor mashing this tournament. The chickenhawks go down to Bradley.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That Kansas loss is the best moment for Pittburgh sports since the motherfucking Super Bowl. Pitt now has an easy road to the Sweet 16, and we're rolling.

FELIPE NO

The Kansas lost was crazy, except it doesn't hurt so much since pretty much everyone had them going to the Elite 8. Besides that (and Arkansas...), it was a pretty good day. I'm still in really good shape for the future. Come on Jesus.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Good thing I had them losing to Pitt. My bracket seems to be shaping up quite nicely.
