I just hope Uconn wins it all this year. They have the talent to do it, but they haven't really shown they can win it all. Pitt is clearly a better team than them, but if Pitt exits early, who knows.

My Final 4:

Pitt
Louisville
UConn
Memphis


I picked LSU and Kansas as my sleepers, both teams fly under the radar, and can make a run in the tourney.

My only problem with Oklahoma is that it is a 1 man team, if Griffin struggles or gets into foul trouble early, they could be done.

Final Four
Pitt - Been my favorite since about midseason. Great PG, Big Man, Defense and I love Young
Uconn - Would have been my Tournament winner if Dyson didn't go down
Memphis
Wake - Don't know why but I needed someone that I don't think will be a 1 or 2 seed

Sleepers
Marquette - Even without James if there guards get hot they are amazing
Arizona - if they actually get in. I love Budinger
Florida St.
Texas

1, maybe 2 and done
UCLA
Michigan St.
Kansas
UNC - Dont think they will lose before the sweet 16 but while they are the most talented team in the field they can never seem to string together enough good games to get it done. I think they lose either in the sweet 16 or elite 8.

agree 100 percent of course i am biased as a freshman at the U of A. But i think we got one of the most dynamic explosive trios in the nation with Nic Wise who has been on a mission past month. Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill. I just wish we had a different coach... you have no idea how frustrating it is to watch Pennel refuse to play man to man :x :cry: :x

The most impressive win by far this season that i saw in person was when we scored 106 in a win vs Udub at home.

Yeah I like Nic Wise and Buddinger and Hill is a beast, also you probably won't like this but ASU is one of my sleepers too :).

I really don't think that will happen. The combo of Hansborough and Lawson is too much for anyone to deal with. There isn't a player in the nation that could hang with Lawson except for Collison maybe. He can take over a game whenever necessary. I think they will definitely be in the Final Four and probably in the title game too.

Rest of my Final 4- Pitt, Louisville, and a surprise pick will be Syracuse.

Sleeper- Duke won't get bounced early for once, West Virginia, Davidson not getting much love since the beginning of the year, and Maryland if they even make it.

Out quick- Wake Forest, Oklahoma, Memphis, and Marquette

I think Lucas and Collins are just as good as Lawson if not better, and Collins is by far a better leader. Like the Cuse pick, they are just as talented as Pitt, just need to put it togethor, Davidson isn't going to get in after losing in semis of their confrence tourney, I agree on all the quick outs, Memphis can't shoot, Marquette doesn't have an inside game, OU is just overrated and Wake is too young.

While I agree Marquette doesn't have an inside game there aren't a ton of teams that do. People discount them a little because they've lost 4 in a row but those 4 losses have been to Uconn, at Pitt, at Louisville and in OT against Cuse. I think if they get a 6 or 7 seed with a favorable match up in the 2nd round say a Duke or Memphis I think they could hit the Sweet 16.

I just don't think UNC will put it all together for 6 games. They have been arguably the most talented team in the nation the past two years and they just can't seem to win it all. Granted I'm biased since I'm a Duke fan so I naturally hate UNC but I just think they will find a way to lose.

I agree about a .01% chance UNC wins it all, they are too inconsistant and have proven with this group of guys they just can't win the big one...
