Your 2016 NCAA Tournament Champ?

I put Kansas in the Final 4 but I don't think they will make it. But I don't know which team will beat them...trying not to destroy my entire West bracket.

I can't believe all of the love for MSU. But I did predict this 3 or 4 weeks ago. They had a soft schedule down the stretch...knew they would win 10 out of 11. I'm not surprised they won the conference tournament. So that's 13 wins in 14 games. I get the Izzo love. I know they made the run last year. But I don't see it. I only took them to the Elite 8 because their path looked so easy. Most of the "experts" are picking either Kansas or Michigan State and I don't think either will be in the Final Four.

I have Virginia knocking MSU out.
 
I read the two top teams in both offensive and defensive efficiency are Kansas and Virginia, hence, why I have them in the national championship game.

Kansas has burnt me so many times in the past, so the reason why I have Virginia winning. For some reason, Virginia just floated to the top of my bracket when completing. I guess I like Virginia's depth and balance and I think they also bring some height.

I hate to say, but I have a hard time selecting Mich State when Iowa beat them twice in the same season. Also Purdue. I realize it was a different stretch of the season for Iowa, but still??

Enjoy the tournament everyone!!

Virginia has lost seven games this year by...5, 2, 4, 7, 1, 3 and 4. The first 6 all being road games. The last loss being to NC in the conference tournament. And they have lost 3 games since January 17...@ Duke by 1; at Miami by 3; and on a neutral floor to NC by 4. They are 9-7 in games decided by less than 10 points so they don't lose all of the close ones.

Good pick-up. They are in every game. Not a blow-out loss and all on the road. Iowa is a similar team is this regard.

Funny thing is I'm more content with my bracket this year then in years past. I don't regret any picks. Kind of weird.

I don't regret any picks...but I suspect that will change. I may regret how I picked the very 1st game...not that picking Duke and being wrong will cause me much distress.
 
Picked Iowa to bring home the bacon from Houston.

I have all big 12 teams to lose in the 1St round or 2nd round. They're over-rated every year.

Picked Texas to win first round, but would love to see UNI win.

Go Hawks.

MSU, you guys are on crack picking Big 12 teams for the Final 4, see last year's results.....overrated.
 
Oklahoma in most of my brackets, Xavier in a couple other ones. I have them both in the final four in all my brackets. MSU in there as well. I got one bracket with ISU in the final four, but who knows. Oklahoma. Best player, best scorer in the game.
 
Baylor, Texas Tech. bite the dust. Will the so called experts ever learn. Kansas and Oklahoma are good. The rest of the Big 12 including the girls from Ames are soft.
 
Oklahoma, Xavier, Mich St, Kansas

Kansas vs Xavier in the championship game with Kansas winning it all

I have Xavier in my F4. The more I hear of them the more I like. Kind of wish I had them in the c-ship game if not winning the whole damn thing. Now I hear they are a really deep team.
