What are your Final Four predictions?

[dmShortSaledude]

I have at least one losing, but I am not finished. I might have a couple of the #1s losing. Always have to have at least one going down. That's my rule, it's not any fun having all number one seeds. Luckily it's only happened once.

Who do you have going out early? Who are your potential UNIs of the 2011 tourney?

Curious what others have for picks for runs or upsets.

First bracket I've filled out online, I've got OSU, UCONN, Notre Dame, and Florida in the Final Four. OSU over ND 74-65 in the finals.

OSU...for sure. For some reason I have a feeling about KSU IN THE FINAL 4 as well.

They might be the favorite in that region. Florida is overseeded and Pitt underachieves chronically. Wisky never does well in the tourney and I don't think BYU can ride Jimmer to the FF. The only reason I'd be wary of taking K-State is that their first round matchup is TOUGH. Utah State will be the popular 12/5 pick. I've taken Utah State in a couple brackets now (don't judge, I'm a college kid and I can win $10,000 ). The other 12/5 that I like is Clemson/West Virginia.

Look for Duke to repeat.

OSU, Duke, Kansas and Kansas State. OSU beating the Jayhawks in the finals.


I think the 2 seeds are pretty unspectacular this year. Only have 1 getting to the Elite 8 (San Diego State).

tOSU, Duke, Louisville, Pitt

Buckeyes beat the Panthers in the final game, 77-72.

Look for Duke to repeat.

If Kyrie Irving plays, that changes the whole tournament. Duke was dominant before he got hurt, and if he comes back close to 100% they could cruise through the tournament. If he doesn't play or can only go a few minutes a night, Duke will lose to a team with athletic guards that can pressure their ball handlers, just like they have the last few years.

I've got OSU, Duke, Wisconsin and Kansas in the final four. OSU winning it all.

ND in finals? I'm hoping they get upset, just because of who they are... But they do have good guard play.


Any big upset predictions?

Duke, Kansas, UNC, and Pitt or BYU...that pitt region is a joke...like I wouldn't be surprised if MSU puts it together and screws up everyone's brackets....Florida got DESTROYED in SEC title game.

And I think the Big Ten was vastly overrated this year and OSU will be exposed by UNC....they're good but not top overall good.

 

[CAARHawk]

You are right about that bracket. I go back and forth and never feel comfortable with any choice. Also, had to stop myself from bringing MSU out too far. Really just couldn't wait to get someone out there to beat Florida.

Any big upset predictions?

Utah State will be popular because they're ranked in the top 20. I've also got Clemson over West Virginia in most of my brackets (You don't know what you're getting from WVU on any given night, and Clemson has had a game to kind of get in a groove).

 

[HawkForce]

I really like Clemson when I saw them win the play in I picked them over WVU. I like Belmont too...they're the trendy pick but man can they shoot...and again...they are in by far the weakest region imo. I picked them as my "cinderella" sweet 16 team bc frankly I think Wisky can be upset, and KSU is not impressive.
