Final Four predictions.

  • Barry Badrinath
    surprised this isn't one here already.

    I got Ohio State, UConn, Kansas, and St. Johns

    Chalk.


    The only 1 seed I wanted to pick losing was Pitt, but that region is horrible and I couldn't find a team capable.
  • Gblock
    osu, duke, notre dame, pitt
  • vball10set
    as much as this sucks, mine are all the 1's---OSU, Duke, Kansas & Pitt
  • Tiger2003
    OSU, UCONN, Kansas, Michigan State
  • Laley23
    UNC
    Kansas
    Pitt
    UCONN

    Im really only sure of Pitt, as I dont see a team capable of even competing with them in that region. Kansas has it easy till ND, imo.

    UNC and UCONN were kind of pit committed picks. I told everyone I thought UCONN would make a run as a lower seed, then they win the BE and get a 3, so a run consisted of the FF haha, and I also told everyone Id have UNC in the Final Four if they werent matched up with Kansas or OSU. Then I went against my better judgment and picked UNC over OSU. Ill lose cause of it, OSU is the better team. Oh well.

    Thats what I have on my money bracket.

    I'm all over the place though. I have UCONN making it in another.
  • Jester
    I have Ohio State, Texas, Pitt, and Kansas.

    OSU over Kansas in the title game.

    Ohio St, Texas, Pitt and ND
  • karen lotz
    Quite a few people with ND in the Final Four. Does everyone have them beating Kansas or Kansas losing earlier than the Elite 8?

    To be honest, I have ND losing in the 2nd round to the winner of FSU/TAMU. Not sure why but I have a feeling that ND and Florida will exit in the 2nd round.

    My big upsets.

    Three #1s and UConn. I spent most of my time today cursing my bracket because it looks too "normal" for reality (nothing below a #3 in the Elite 8 and only two double-digits, both from the SE, in the Sweet 16), but really couldn't justify making any real changes other than giving Duke one more round (Irving return) and dropping Purdue a bit earlier (wasn't all that sold on them combined with losing Barlow, who's a good defender).

    Is that what I typed?
  • Iliketurtles
    If George Mason can do it as an 11 Seed then Tom Izzo and MSU can do it as a 10.(I know it really isn't comparable but still I wanted to say it). MSU is in the least tough bracket so its not a huge stretch to say they will make it to the final four.

    That #10 seed also has the weakest #2 seed of all time and a #3 seed who is literally driven by 1 player.

    I originally had all four #1 seeds in the Final Four, but I decided that I wasn't sticking with that. All four #1 seeds have only made it once before, and that was in 2008, so I think it's highly unlikely that it happens again this soon. I feel like Ohio State and Kansas, even though they have some tough games to get through, are the two best teams in the tournament. I think Duke has a tough road, and getting Irving back could help them. I don't really like Pitt, but that region is just weak. I wouldn't be surprised to see absolute chaos in the Southeast Region.

    Anyway, after considering all of that, I went with OSU, Kansas, Texas, and Florida. If Texas plays to their potential, I think they're a great team. They've been shaky toward the end of the season, but I'm counting on them to put it all together and return to mid-season form. I picked Florida because I do think they're good, but I just don't feel it for Pitt. They always seem to lose in March, and there isn't anyone else in that region that I really see making a run. I probably thought too much about it and it will end up coming back to bite me.

    a 10 seed from the weakest region in some time. i wouldn't be surprised if the 12 seed, utah state, made the final four from that mess. could rename that region "the suckoff jamie dixon invitational"

    right now, my final four is osu, texas, nd, pitt. but i think it's changing due to the return of kyrie irving. haven't quite figured it out yet
