I have Syracuse beating Xavier, and Kentucky beating Duke. Kentucky over Syracuse in the final.
I almost picked Memphis over Duke. I have Weber State in the Sweet 16, and Southern Illinois in the Elite 8. Notre Dame losing in the first round to Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Kentucky over Kansas and I don’t know who in the South and East. None of the teams over there impress me. Look for Notre Dame to get knocked out by Wis. Milwaukee and for Miss State to get knocked out by Butler.
I’ve got Kentucky over Syracuse, too. I thought I was just showing my optimism and bias but maybe not. I;ve also got Arizona (pretty safe) and Maryland (not unheard of, I’ve even seen some people pick UConn).
I ALWAYS pick great upsets. Just not the right ones. If I get through today with all 4 of my final 4 (Duke, KY, Xavier, Syr) intact, I’ll be happy-ish…
My final four is Kentucky, Duke, Xavier, Oklahoma. Oklahoma over Kentucky in the final.
The pool I’m in is on-line so you can constantly check updates; after the first day I’m DFL with only 9 of 16 called correctly yesterday. Ugh. But I figure not too many people picked Oklahoma to win it all, so if they stay alive I’m not totally out of it.
