GMU/UND is tough, because on one hand, Notre Dame is grossly overrated, but on the other hand, everyone still loves Mason more than they should (let's face it, they didn't even have to deal with the top seed in the CAA Tournament). I'm hung up on that one.

I'm hung up on that one. Well Notre Dame isnt playing at home and we all know how well they do at home. I agree that Notre Dame is overrated but if Mason can shut down Harangody, they will win the game. I'm so confident that Mason can win. I also am optimistic that they can beat whoever they face in the next round wheter it be Winthrop or Wazzou. Also my early final four picks are: Louisville, Georgetown, Texas, and Uconn. Texas vs the Hoyas in the title game and the Hoyas winning it all. |

See, this year, I haven't paid as much attention to college basketball, so I had hoped it would help me in not overthinking my bracket.
It isn't working. I'm not even CLOSE to having even a preliminary Final Four.

Preliminary Final Four: Tennessee, Kansas, Texas, UCLA Same for me. I have to work on getting my pool together, actually if anyone on here is interested in it, PM me. Should be looking at over 50 people. This is going to be an interesting year, no way to say how its going to go. |

My bracket is set. After going upset-heavy last year I tried to find an almost-happy medium.

I've seen KSU play on a number of occasions, and they aren't getting out of the first weekend. Usually the teams with the best guards get the farthest, and their guards just aren't very good.
They need Bill Walker to show up, and if he doesn't, they're screwed.

I'm willing to bet that you haven't seen them play but maybe once. Nothing that I said isn't the truth - their guards aren't that good. And it's Kansas I hate, not K-State. They'll get bumped out by USC or in the second round. And if they do get past the first weekend, I'll eat crow. Good enough? Oh, and just for clarification, I have KU as a FF team. |

A lot of people seem to like that Davidson over Gtown pick.
Davidson has no one to stop Hibbert though, they better hope he gets into foul trouble.

But the fact that you have them in the FF makes me more comfortable. |

kansas is very good this year. I can recognize that and pick accordingly.
However, I will be rooting like hell against them, bracket notwithstanding.

I have a hard time believing KU will ever reach the FF under Self.

I feel the same way sep. It seems they get beat up early in the tourney, but I think a bit of destiny plays in. As well as the easiest draw on paper of the four regions.

I think Butler has a good shot at stopping Tennessee in the 2nd round... also I think UNC has a cakewalk to the Final Four. They're just too good to lose to any of the teams in the East...

UNC is playing each game at home. I don't see any way they fail to reach the final four.
Right now I have UNC, Kansas, Pittsburgh, UCLA with UCLA beating Kansas in the final.
