Title: 2014 NCAA tournament
Post by: Brooke on March 17, 2014, 05:41:53 PM
Predictions anyone?

Since the Big 10 will take up all four slots of the Final Four, and since Michigan will win it all, the only thing left to predict is which team Michigan will play in the final.  I predict Michigan State.   :D

Im going with Florida.  That senior leadership will carry them through.  For all intense of purposes though I consider the Michigan State vs Florida matchup that will happen in the Elite 8 as what the national championship game should be.

That would be the Final Four. Kentucky will win it all. Their only challenge is Duke. The championship will be Florida-UK and Florida isn't beating UK 4 times in 1 year.  :cheers: :banana:

Wait a minute, I live in Arizona (Zoney duh).  Just exactly which body of water is it on the coast of again?  I mean, yeah, we got a lot of beach (sand), but I don't think it's on the coast.  Wait a minute.  California did have that Earthquake yesterday so did it sink into the ocean and now Arizona is on the coast?

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

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

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.

 My friend moved to Baraboo <Lake Delton> not to long ago his family is totally stoked...... but I don't think they will get past either mich or ken

Kentucky will make a game of it hopefully but the inexperience may catch them this time...

It's ON!

And the crowd goes wild!!!

The mighty Wolverines, fallen!  How can it be?

My fellow AH enthusiasts, the world will not be the same.  One possible shining future is gone, never to return.

My only consolation is that it was a great and exciting game.  But that is small consolation, akin in magnitude to a portrait remaining out of an entire city destroyed.

I got only two of the final four correct and none of the final two.  I figured that Wisconsin vs. Kentucky could go either way, but I expected Florida to blow out UConn, not the other way around.  Another surprise.

Now, with only one game to predict, I will say that Kentucky will take it in a game that isn't all that close.

I would like to go with Uconn but those kids <freshman> are fantastic even with Randle twisting ankle they have the other Foward/Center OO that plays above the rim most the time he's in  :lol

Wouldn't it be some thing if 1 of the Harrison kids stops and pops a 3 near the buzzer again.... I bet those are the proudest parents in the country at the moment.


Watch out where the Huskies Go!
