Final Four picks

Posted Thursday, March 20, 2008, at 11:25 AM

I would be interested in seeing some selections of our readership for the NCAA Tournament. Anybody think strongly about any major upsets from what they've seen? It was tough to pick against my Vols, but my Final Four choices are Texas, Louisville, Kansas and UCLA.

I was 2-for-6 in high school state championship picks. I am guessing I won't do much better here. Who you got?

Oh, one other thing, the way Tennessee is playing I'd definitely put North Carolina or Louisville ahead of them right now. Who knows with Bruce Pearl though. They may turn things around next weekend.

Well Danny, all four of yours are still alive. Georgetown let me down yesterday. The Curry kid is a real chip off the old block, it appears..

There is always next year. Belmont is going to make it yet.

Well Belmont is now out... And just BARELY! :(

I know... I am BEYOND excited for them Let's hope they keep their cool and stay collected. They need to force Duke to foul the best free-throw shooter. It's the safest bet to get points on the board!

Belmont is up by one with less than a minute left.... Who knows.........!!

I would LOVE to see an unknown, nationally unranked team come in with pure underdog fever and take all the big teams down.

Oh, the day we have all 4 of the 16 seeds in the semi-finals will be amazing. So back to reality, haha.

My predictions, though completely useless are: Memphis, W Virginia, Tennessee, Georgetown

Go Belmont, all the way.

I am going directly against strong historic precedent by predicting all number one seeds in the Final Four...North Carolina prevailing over Memphis in the Final.
