My tourney picks...

...not that anyone cares. I took a generic approach this year. I was too scared to pick many upsets, and made most of my picks with very little confidence. I did pick against every MVC team. I hope they all lose and they all lose badly. The key there will be Seton Hall over Wichita St. I also have Seton Hall beating Tennessee.

Two second round games have given me nightmares. Kansas-Pittsburgh and UNC-Mich St. are HUGE games in my bracket. I want to have the winner of those games going to the Final Four. I wanted to pick Pitt, but they struggle come tourney time, so I picked Kansas. Plus, I really want to see the Kansas-Bucknell rematch from last year, which means I have Bucknell beating Memphis, yes. For the other game, I love Mich St. and I have been talking them up all year. I did the same thing with Georgia Tech last year, and they really let me down. I doubt my luck has changed, so I'm picking UNC.

That being said, my Final 4: Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, and Nova. Morrison will be outplayed by JJ Redick in an epic showdown for player of the year, but Redick will be out of gas when he faces Nova in the finals. Nova 88 Duke 82
