Bracket was perfect till Duke lost, first time ever i didn't want them to lose.

You picked Dayton over Ohio State?  That's impressive if so.  What made you pick that?

My final four are still in the game at least:  Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Florida.

With a championship game of Florida vs. Michigan, with Michigan winning it all!  :aok

Also, he has at least one more error:  Michigan will win it all.

No one has any updates on their pics?

No one has any trash to talk?

I post that Michigan will win it all and that the final four will contain three Big 10 teams . . . and no backlash?

No one on here saying, "I knew Dayton and Stanford would do some romping.  If they weren't in the same sub-bracket, they would be two of the final four."

Still sitting back and watching Florida cruise through.  They are my pick to take it all if only they can stop playing down to their competition.  When Florida plays to the potential they should be playing at, there is no competition.  They have the back court to compete with anyone and Young is a defensive monster.  The senior leadership is a huge bonus for them.  Best game in the tournament will be Florida vs Michigan State hands down.

The one team that is something to watch I think is Tennessee.  They got hot at the right time.  Even though they lost in the SEC tournament, they lost to Florida and they made Florida struggle.  Stokes is a force to be reckon with and I think he will cause problems for Michigan.

We just went from Sweet 16 to the Elite 8, and no comments?

My final-four picks are still in (Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Florida), and I was expecting Arizona to make it to the Elite 8, but I was wrong on the other three members (expecting the other three at this stage to be Louisville instead of Kentucky, Kansas instead of Dayton, and Villanova instead of Connecticut).

I did not think Kentucky could pull off that win. Now Michigan v Kentucky. It's going to be another knife fight. Good Luck.

I had a final four of Syracuse - Virginia - Wisconsin - Michigan.  ACC-B1G part deux.  The ACC half of that let me down.

I wouldnt call it luck.

Calipari has to deal with the freshmen 1 and done every year and expect these incoming freshmen to immediately click as a group.  That is almost impossible to happen which is obviously seen in these teams who are full of seniors ie Florida where there such cohesion amongst the starters.  It seems they have clicked during the SEC tournament and now their raw talent is on display.  Takes time for new players to figure out how to play with each other.  If Cauley-Stein isnt healthy for the game against Michigan, Kentucky probably wont have a chance.

Either way, Florida is going win it all especially if they get past Michigan State.
