Is it just me or is this the worst NCAA Tournament of all time? Even with North Carolina, my team, and Michigan State, another one of my favorites, in the Final Four, there is still no excitement to be had. I guess Villanova's win over Pittsburgh was a highlight, but that is pretty lame if you can "almost" come up with one moment to remember. Believe me, CBS is working overtime on coming up with its "One Shining Moment" montage to close the tournament.
The only team remaining from my Final Four picks is North Carolina, which was also my pick for national champion. I also had Memphis, Wake Forest and Pittsburgh as my picks. I would have went with Michigan State instead of Wake Forest but after its horrible loss in the Big 10 Tournament I thought they might not even make it out of the second round. Still, I had them losing to Wake in the Elite Eight.
I was stunned that a ton of people had Louisville winning the whole thing. Louisville was the biggest joke of the tournament, especially considering it was the top overall seed. I had them losing in the second round to Siena, and it almost happened, but Louisville pulled that one off. But they got smoked by Michigan State and were exposed as a fraud later on.
I don't think anyone would be surprised that I'm going with Michigan State and North Carolina to meet up for the championship and the Tar Heels winning it all from there. Make sure you vote in our First & Goal poll question to the right so we can get a gauge who you think will win the tournament. I'll print the results in the paper, as always.
