Mine's pretty much the same as yours: Louisville, Pittsburg, UNC, Memphis.
However, my sleeper pick is Syracuse.

Michigan State, Duke, Memphis, UNC

It was tough leaving North Dakota State out, I just think they're a year or two away.

FINAL FOUR
Memphis
Pittsburgh

Louisville

CHAMPIONSHIP

Memphis's defense, toughness, and athleticism will be no match for North Carolina.

Sleeper Pick: Syracuse

i only have pittsburgh as a guarantee for final four right now. I don't think Louisville would get past wake, but even then, i think boston college might beat wake forest... That's a huge if at the moment.

Pitt, Louisville, UCONN, unc

Pitt over Louisville for all the marbles.

I'm a Duke fan but if we make it to the Sweet 16 it will be a step in the good direction.

I did VERY well last Year up until the Final Four (where I only had 1 man left standing), but this Year I have:

Michigan St.
UConn
Duke
Oklahoma

With Michigan St. vs Oklahoma in the Finals and the Sooner winning it all.

My Elite 8:

Michigan St.
Wake Forest

UConn
Memphis

Duke
Pittsburgh

UNC
Oklahoma

Thoughts?

North Carolina
Pitt

Weird. I haven't won a tourny pool since Battier and J-Will carried me home in 2001 with Duke. I don't expect to win this year either. I'll damn sure enjoy all the games though.

I've also got Pitt over Louisville in the final. I think Sweet 16 is as far as Duke goes and they should be happy with that. So we agree there.

My Final Four is where I threw in two wild upsets just to be different.

I have Missouri getting past UConn to making to the final four. I think Memphis is overrated a bit in that bracket. Mizzou will take them before UConn.

I also have heavy favorite UNC going down to Gonzaga. Zags have seniors and Austin Daye peaking at the end of the year. I think they can beat UNC especially if Lawson isn't 100%.

So, my Final Four is Pitt, Louisville, Missouri, and Gonzaga.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.
