while LSU is not in it, its still fun to watch...i think. When the seedings came out, it looked obvious to me that Kentucky's bracket is by far the easiest....Gonzaga is a tough number 2 but from 1-8 which is where the meat of the regions really are you have: Ga Tech/Kansas/Prov/BC/Mich St/Wash decent teams with GT jumping out with only one i can see advancing besides Ky if ky goes into one of their scoring droughts. Hardest by far, imo, is St Joes Ok St (easily coulda been #1 seed), Pitt??? (3 seed coulda been a one seed), Wake Forest (ACC always legit), Florida/Wisconsin/Tex Tech I can see 3-5 teams advancing from here depending who is hottest. the next 2 are pretty close with the 8 seeds but Duke's higher seeds may make it tougher.... Duke/Miss St (coulda been a one)/Texas (missing something on this team but still dangerous)/Cinci/Illin/NC/Xavier/Seton Hall with louisiville/zona and even the murray sts and E Tenn are solid teams that could surprise. this bracket could end up a mess since its just balanced top to bottom but not as strong to win it overall. I see 3 teams who could make it all the way with Miss St/Duke/maybe illinois. next one is similar to above since Stanford is 1 with UCONN 2..I think Uconn with Okafor makes them the team to beat on this side. No one college team has a real Patrick Ewing type anymore cuz they are all in the NBA....This makes them unique and a force ppl cant match up with no matter what given he is healthy. Similar to MSU and Duke, either of these can win,not much difference. I like MSU over DUke btw. NC ST(dangerous)/Maryland/Syracuse/Vandi/Depaul/Bama next 4 are not slouches here either S.ILL (dangerous, watch out bama),Dayton, BYU, WMICH. looks like they want a KY/Duke matchup and who can blame them. Problem is this isnt the Duke of past or the KY of past teams. Wide open field. Who do you like? I like... MSU/UCONN-Ok St/KY with UCONN/OKIE ST in finals. just my worthless opinion while im wasting time working on a weekend.
Final Four Georgia Tech Oklahoma State Duke Maryland Oklahoma State vs. Duke Oklahoma State wins it all Cinderella Story of the tourney: Xavier makes it to Elite 8
Final 4: Kentucky Ok St. Duke UConn Finals: Kentucky - Duke If Okufor is healthy I think UConn has a good chance to go all the way, I called them winning it all back when Rip was there (99?) when the season started. But this year I think Coach K gets yet another ring. I think ULL can pull off the upset against N.C. State...but that would be as far as they would proabably go.
I look for Alabama to pull the big upset against Stanford in the second round to make it to the Sweet 16
I was thinking that too Bengal B, but Alabama is just going to get pounded on the boards against Stanford. I think Western Michigan will beat Vandy.
