I ended up putting one #1 seed in the final four, although thats probably something I should have done for the bracket I got money on. I have like upsets all over the place. My bracket is either going to be very prophetic or a steaming pile of ****.

Was watching ESPN preview a couple tournament matchups.

VCU and Akron in a 6/11 match up is going to be fun. Shaka Smart coaching PF Juvonte Reddic vs. Zeke Marshall's Zips.

Michigan vs South Dakota State in a 5/12 could surprise a lot of people. Trey Burke gets deserved hype but Nate Woltjers has a lot to prove at PG.

I have NC state beating Indiana and Michigan winning it all. I think Michigan is the most talented team in the country. I also have OK state making it to the final 4.

I don't like Michigan's defense. They could get upset by SDSU.

I got Louisville beating Miami to win it all. They both have good veteran teams.

I got my picks in just under the wire. My career record in these things is 0 for a lot. I got Indy beating Duke in the final (yes, the same Duke that lost to MD twice). Ohio State and Michigan are my other final 4 schools. I'm not that high on Ohio St, but having a crafty PG like Craft probably makes a huge difference. Same reasoning with Michigan - plus they're underrated as a 4th seed. I have Minnesota coming up with a couple of upsets.

I played it conservative (not sure why) in this boards bracket, but I caved and put a 1 seed in my other bracket. I got Hoyas over the Lobos in the finals in that one, Hoyas over the Cardinals in this one. I know one guy put temple in the final four...talk about ballsy.

Not a real shocker that Wichita State beat Pittsburg.


Get it... shocker?

I picked Davidsonville for the upset. I was feeling pretty smug in my genius about 45 seconds ago.

Then they choked.

Dude. I warned you

Smart. He a bust.

When will they listen..

Aside from that. Sorry to hear your brackets are busted.

Kelly Olynyk has a nice game. At least we will get to evaluate him more.

Gorgui Dieng is playing now.

My God Bennett plays like a total pussy.

No sense of urgency from him.

Doesn't seek out contact on defense. Terrible motor.

Edit. Bennett is out. Smart is out.

i felt that way about Bennett before the tournament. Just the way his coach was benching him late in games and subbing him in for offensive possessions in their conference tournament tipped off that Bennett is a terrible defender. His motor on runs at one end of the court.
