Sweet 16 picks

March 18, 2008

My bracket is going to bust. I don't know why I can just feel the holes at the bottom of the boat.

I have a thing for the underdog. Most of the time, whatever game I'm watching I'll root for the losing team. Can't blame a guy for wanting to see a close game, can you?

Anyways, I'm filling out my bracket and as far as I've committed myself to pick is the sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament.

Out of the East I have: North Carolina, Notre Dame, Louisville and surprise upset Butler. Don't really know why I don't like Tennessee, but I like Butler better.

Out of the Midwest I have: Kansas, Clemson (although I might change my mind and go with Villanova), University of Southern California and Georgetown. I have a feeling Hibbert won't step up in the second round and get beat by Davidson, but Georgetown is who I'm choosing.

Out of the South: Memphis, Pittsburgh, Stanford and Texas. Out of all the divisions, I like my predictions in the South the best.

Out of the West: University of California-Los Angeles, Drake, Xavier and Duke. West Virginia might get hot and run over Duke, but I like the ability of Paulus to handle the rock in a pinch.

I'm not going to send Memphis to the Final Four. Their free throw percentage is atrocious. Either Pitt., Stanford or Texas is going to get them.

I really like the odds of UCLA winning the whole thing. My heart says go with either Kansas and Texas, but my heart gets me in trouble when picking teams.
