All I can say is Oklahoma.
Brackets aren’t up yet, obviously since champ week just started…
Who is your pick to take it all?

Cuse finished the regular season strong. Honestly the top 4 teams are a crapshoot. A lot of upset possibilities this year.

Syracuse is nice to root for because of the local boys on the team. Oklahoma has lost with both brothers playing, and their opponents all year weren’t very good. They remind me of the Hawaiin Football team from a couple seasons ago, and we all know how that ended. UConn, North Carolina and Pitt will all be in different brackets, but I suspect Memphis will be put in as a #2 in with one of those teams.
North Carolina flopped last season and UConn is getting tired and beat up without their #2 player in the line up. Pitt is so beefy I believe they will win it all, unless they have to play Memphis, who can beat them. IMO. If Memphis beats Pitt, they win it all 🙂
edit: I forgot Wake Forest, whom I always cheer for since i hate north carolina and duke is a bunch of pussies 🙂
edit: Whoops, I forgot my dark horse pick in Louisville, since they are my hometown team and Petino is a god of NCAA :tup:

Blake Griffin is all that matters… He lost to Mizz, and Arkankas.
If you can’t stop Blake griffin, game over. 2 losses came when griffin had a concussion. Texas, and Kansas were the losses with out him. Then he came back with a VENGEANCE!!
I want oklahoma to win, I also like pitt. I just don’t want UNC, Hansbourgh is a fag… I will be watching every oklahoma game I can cause Griffin is more exciting than lebron right now…

After selection sunday we should have a tournament pick thread, where everyone can post their brackets etc. I’d say we should make it for money, but that’d never work.
And yes, hansbrough is lame and will go nowhere in the nba

Watch that recap and tell me you don’t wanna see oklahoma win it… Albeit colorado in this game… but the dude is a highlight fest, he can fly.
Thabeet… has a chance in the NBA over hansbourgh. He is solid inside

I’m not saying Griffin isn’t a beast, he is, but I just can’t see them beating a powerhouse like Pitt. I think they can beat UConn though and other teams that lack a true physical inside presence ( duke ).

I would like to see some more upsets this year. Every girl i know that filled out a bracket for the hell of it and knows nothing about NCAA ball kicked my ass because they just picked the higher ranked number for every game. And well thats pretty much how the tournament went. Hopefully not this year.
Of course ill be rooting for Syracuse but if i had to put money on who i think will win it all Oklahoma is hard to bet against.

Of course Cuse is who I’m pulling for, but I see Pitt taking it all. Big East is nasty, maybe 3 of the 4 #1 seeds with Pitt/UConn/Louisville
