Here is my bracket…THE Holy Grail 
Click on the picture to view the full size.
Couple of key points to talk about:
- I chose Butler over Tennessee. This is not that I think Tennessee is bad, I just think their style of play can lend itself to an upset and Butler is totally legit.
- I chose four #1 seeds to reach the Final Four. I have never done this before (it has never happened before)…I just think the tournament has about 6 teams that are quite a bit better than everyone else overall. Of course anything can happen in one game but I didn’t think it was worth betting these best teams would lose.
- As a Duke fan, I can be honest about my team. They are close to great, but not there yet.
- I really wanted to pick Davidson to beat Georgetown, but I just couldn’t do it.
- My big upsets are Butler over Tennessee, Siena over Vanderbilt, St. Joseph’s over Oklahoma, and USC over Wisconsin.
- I think Butler and Drake really got screwed with their seeds as 7 and 5. They are two of the top 15 teams in the nation.
- I am not a Kansas fan, I am a UCLA fan (Kevin Love is from Oregon). As much as I like UCLA, I think Kansas is a team that has been together for the past 3 years and is due to finally break through.
What do you think?
First of all i am glad you have given wazzu enough credit to make the sweet, and as hard as it was my common since made me pick unc…=(. I really hope butler up ends tenn, just becuase pearl bugs the heck out of me. Im not sure about the USC game tho wisconsin plays a very simlary style of defence to wazzu and it managed to shut down USC both times they played this year. my big upsets are Mason over Notre dame, Nova over clemson and st marys over Miami…..this is by far my favorite time of year, gotta love march madness!!!!
I think Memphis will have a tough time and Texas has taken three of the four 1 seeds.
“What do I think?”
First thing, props to KFC for the bracket but $2.99 doesn’t seem like that big a deal for a Toasted Wrap Combo. My attempt at filling out a bracket failed miserably and I don’t want to get sucked into filling out more cuz I’d end up filling out like 5-6 of those suckers. Once you start you can’t stop.
Good choice on SC. I hope OJ Mayo goes out in a blaze of glory and scores 36 ppg.
I’m not on the Drake bandwagon but just cuz everyone else is. I haven’t watched a single game all season.
And lastly, I hope PSU does not get waxed by 40 pts vs Kansas. Go Vikings!
Oregon out in the first round? C’mon Tyler.
Okay, can I tell you the truth? I picked UNC to win it all simply because I like the color of their uniforms. With that said, you’ll have to tell me the feeling in the end of getting beat by a girl.
yeah that USC thing didn’t work out so well. I think we should remind ourselves that Texas lost in the first round last year and killed my bracket. I won’t bet on them making the final four, not after last year.
“yeah that USC thing didn’t work out so well. ”
lol….[thud!] Duck Fan feels my pain. Four starters that went to the Elite 8 last year, 13 pt 2nd half lead…nervous time for Ernie Kent.
Now I’m just rooting for the rest of the Pac-10 to not suck so bad. Why do I torture myself every year?
I do want to see Hansbrough vs Love.
