I got to go with Missouri over MSU.

 

[Bowser]

I got to go with Missouri over MSU.

Yeah, it's a toss up to me. I think MSU is more battle tested, but I could easily see either one of those in the F4

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Go heels!

 

[bachikarn]

Go gators

 

[Enron]

UNC ftw

 

[Eric Hall]

I was tempted to go with Kansas over UNC, but I have been burned by Kansas over and over again

Final Four right now:
UK
Mizz
Syracuse (This is the one I feel least sure about)
UNC

side note: lol at Gottlieb's picks in the Midwest region: He picks Cal over Temple, Ohio over Michigan, NCSU over SDSU AND Belmont over Georgetown...batshit insane but I would LOVE for it to play out like that

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

[darkside31337]

[Aesius]

Got 'Cuse and Duke in the title game with 'Cuse taking home the hardware.

 

[BertramCooper]

I'm kinda stumped.

I'll work on it the next couple of days, but I'm not expecting to do all that well this year.

 

[HeySeuss]

I wouldn't expect you to either, you're a bit of a dope.

[Bowser]

Hubert Brown taking UNC over MSU in the title game...I'd love that lol

 

[Pollux]

Too bad it's not going to happen. and Kentucky will win it all BAAAABY.

 

[Bowser]

lmao at both Vitale and Digger picking FSU to the Final Fucking Four...they're out in the 2nd round to Cincinnati IMO

 

[ezrarh]

Just picked. Syracuse over Kentucky to make up for 1996.

 

[Pollux]

lmao at both Vitale and Digger picking FSU to the Final Fucking Four...they're out in the 2nd round to Cincinnati IMO

Agreed. Cinci is a good team and I think they can get to the Elite 8. yea they lose 9/10 to tOSU but I think that instate rivalry pushes them into overdrive and they go ape shit from 3.

 

[Vyrance]

Final Four:

Kentucky
Missouri
Florida State
North Carolina

Kentucky vs. Florida State for the championship with Kentucky winning

 

[Bowser]

Picking any ACC team not named UNC or dook to go further than the Sweet 16 isn't smart guys. Trust me.

 

[Vyrance]

I like the way Florida State is playing right now, and it's a bit of a homer pick I actually had them and Vandy matching up in the East, although a bit hesitant now with Vitale picking that same matchup

 

[JambiBum]

I wanted to go with Indiana over Kentucky but I just can't see them doing it again.

 

[BertramCooper]

I wouldn't expect you to either, you're a bit of a dope.

Hey, is that any way for one Buckeye to treat another?

 

[dmag1223]

My Final four:

Kentucky
Mich St.
Ohio St.
Kansas

Every year I say I'm going to pick a bunch of upsets, but my bracket always ends up being really chalky.

 

[ZedIndyLil]

Best sports weekend of the year coming up.

I hope the Final Four is better than last year's horrific display of amateur baskeball, though.

Kentucky
Ohio State
Michigan St.
Kansas

 

[bluehat9]

I'm in, but I want to see a bracket that has the locations of the games. I know a site does it, but I can never remember which one it is.

 

[Fjordson]

I have FSU in my final four right now, but that seems crazy.

I was 100 percent with my final four last year, but I have a feeling I'm going to do terrible this year.

 

[ErasureAcer]

My F4 which will be laughed at because it's similar to the guys above that had 2 of the same teams.

Indiana
Michigan St.
Vanderbilt
Kansas

I usually pick 2 or 3 double digit seeds to make the round of 16...this year I only picked one to make it that far.

 

[Lasthope106]

Iowa State! What now bitches.

 

[Fjordson]

I want to pick more upsets, but I feel like this year is gonna be chalky.

 

[Pollux]

Wise man

 

[Bowser]

"We'll just use it as motivation for the tournament," Jones said. "This one just brings us back to reality. Coach feels we were getting ignorant."

Calipari interrupted, "Arrogant."

lol

 

[Pollux]

lol

I hope he's right. If we can get back down to Earth we'll go right back to steamrolling people all the way to the Elite Eight. If not, we'll get knocked off in the 2nd round or the Sweet Sixteen.

Oh I know, I'm just laughing at the "ignorant/arrogant" thing

Well the kid isn't going to school for an English education, he's getting a fast track degree in basketball. C'mon son.

Coach cal pay for them sat scores too?

 

[Pollux]

Coach cal pay for them sat scores too?

He was never connected to that...Rose cheated all on his own.

 

[Karl2177]

Iowa State! What now bitches.

Yay! Another ISU fan!

When is the deadline? I'll be filling out another bracket in a couple of days, and I figured I might as well do them simultaneously.

 

[LordCanti]

Go Mizzou. Win this for me, and I promise I'll never complain about you disappointing me again!

Edit: Just saw that we're ranked #2. Bullllshitttttt

I think it's before the play in games.

 

[ZZMitch]
