Round 1
1 UNC vs. 16 E Kentucky: Enough with the 1 seed analysis pretty much a waste of time.Winner: UNC
8 Marquette vs. 9 Michigan St.: James is a quality point guard and Marquette is a very dangerous team. Michigan St. relies way too much on Drew Neitzel to be succesful in this tourny. And a rule of thumb if you've lost to Michigan this season you aren't any good. Winner: Marquette
5 USC vs. 12 Arkansas: I hate both of these teams. If this game is on my television I just my vomit. I'm picking USC by default even though I don't think they're any good. Winner: USC
4 Texas vs. 13 N Mexico St.: The Longhorns get a 4 seed mostly because they struggled during the early portion of the season. It doesn't fully take into consideration how well they are currently playing and how friggin awesome Kevin Durant is, they will dominate NMex St. Reggie Theus out.Winner: Texas
6 Vandy vs. 11 Geo Washington: Not really sure why Vandy was given a 6 seed so what they beat Florida, the Gators were playing like garbage. What annoys me most about Vandy is that they're the sole reason Arkansas is in the tournament over the Cuse. Anyway that was off topic. I have them winning round 1. Winner: Vandy
3 Wazzu vs. 14 Oral Roberts: This is everyones upset special and thus I am not taking it. Sure I hate the Pac 10, and yes Oral Roberts beat Kansas and I just picked Kansas to make the final 4 but I think this upset is getting overhyped by every single person in the media. Winner: Wazzu
7 BC vs. 10 Texas Tech: I don't like BC's team. Jared Dudley has a ton of talent but sometimes he just doesn't show up. I know Tech has weak talent but I don't trust this BC squad to step up in a big spot. Although Knight does lose every year in the first round so this is probably a bad pick. Winner: Texas Tech
2 Gtown vs. 15 Belmont: Hell ya I picked Belmont to win their conference tournament in the preseason. But ya Gtown will maul them.Winner: Gtown
Round 2
1 UNC vs. 8 Marquette: Personally I think this will be the biggest test for a 1 seed in the entire first weekend. Marquette is a very streaky team that when playing on their top level and with James hitting shots can beat anyone. This should be a thriller that goes down to the wire with UNC narrowly taking it home. Winner: UNC
5 USC vs. 4 Texas: Out with the Pac 10. Why did USC get a 5 seed again? Is OJ Mayo already suiting up for them? No. Ok I think I'll go with Durant then. Winner: Texas
6 Vandy vs. 3 Wazzu: Apparently I don't hate Vandy that much because I have them beating Wazzu. I don't believe in the Pac 10, and while I hate Vandy I think they're the type of team that can shoot lights out on the three and knock off better squads which they will do here.Winner: Vandy
2 Gtown vs. 10 Texas Tech: JT3 will crush Bob Knight, and it will be very funny. Bob Knight in his old age doesn't really seem to care about recruiting high profile athletes as his team is always undermanned. Sometimes I think he doesn't get enough credit, his team has limited talent and they beat A&M, a sexy final 4 pick, twice. Winner: Gtown
Sweet 16
1 UNC vs. 4 Texas: In Durant I trust. I think Durant is the type of kid that will drop 40 in the big spot not the type of kid that will crumble. I think his play slipt in the Big 12 final because of the back to back to back games. With a week off prior to facing UNC he's going to carry the Longhorns on his shoulders over the Tarheels. Hey look I actually am picking a non 1 seed to make the final 4, oh good job me. Not 100% Chalk, but damn close. Winner: Texas
2 Gtown vs. 6 Vandy: I don't like Vandy that much not even close. I think Gtown pounds Vandy in the ground and Gtown gets into the Elite 8 with Relative ease.Winner: Gtown
Elite 8
4 Texas vs. 2 Gtown: Green is a beast. He is just a little worse than Durant at every single aspect of the game except for threes which he doesn't do. He will match much of what Durant does. But the Hoyas have other significant advantages. They have a 7 foot 2 center to feed the ball to downlow who can clean up the offensive glass. They play much better defense than the Longhorns. And they do not commit dumb turnovers.
Winner: Gtown
