Yup, I got UConn, Illinois and Clemson. Just missed out on North Carolina. That's my first Elite 8 miss. Tomorrow I got Marquette, Duke, Creighton and Purdue.
Of course I didn't do this for money this year.

Not me. I’m rooting against them. I’m pulling for UNC

NC State + 7.5 vs. Marquette
Gonzaga +5.5 vs. Purdue
Duke +4.5 vs Houston
Creighton +3.5 vs. Tennessee

I think State's run of high level play comes to an end, I think Marquette covers that. And Ive got Zaga beating Purdue (depends on how its reffed) and Ive got Creighton over Tennessee.

I may roll with your picks...feel like everyone is going to be on NC State...but I like the Marquette pick...

Marquette is such a better team overall. And I do think sooner or later this run State is on is going to come to an end.
But I will say, they do have 2 things going for them. Crazy high confidence with how theyve been playing over the last month. And Im not sure how Marquette is going to matchup with Burns. Marquette is a tiny team. Are they going to put Oso on him to start the game? He's 6'8 and maybe 215. He's going to get pushed around by Burns, or worst case scenario he gets into early foul trouble. And if they double him, Burns is a damn good passing big man.
I think that game is decided in the first 10 minutes of the game. If State is still in it at that point, I think they will be in it for the rest of the game. If Marquette is up by double digits, they will cruise.

Looking forward to watching Kolek. Such an interesting player. He doesn't look the part of an NBA player but is such a master at floor vision, passing, and getting to the rim and finishing with his left hand. Uses the backboard really well. I wouldn't mind the Suns taking a flyer on him.
He's averaging like 20 and 11 in the tourney and led the NCAA in assists this year.

Ya the dude is a straight up stud at the college level. He really does just put on a masterclass basically each night at the guard spot. And I agree, Im not really sure if he will have a role at the next level and I wont be shocked if he decides to return to school for 1 more year.
But the guy is so smart and so skilled on the offensive end, I wouldnt be surprised if he finds himself sticking as a bench guard for a NBA team.
