MARCH MAYHEM: Final Four Predictions!

[magicman]

Not who I think will win, but since it's the last year the Final Four will be at Salem it's who I want to win. I've never been to Salem and would like to see my Cardinals make it there. I also root for Middlebury since I've known Coach Jeff Brown for a long time and think he's a class act. So I'm wishing and hoping for those two to make it to Salem.


Semifinals:
Plattsburgh State defeats Whitman

Middlebury defeats John Carroll


Plattsburgh State defeats Middlebury in a rematch, only this time they have Jon Patron.

If I were picking now, I'd say Whitman, Hamilton, Augustana, and Middlebury are the strongest teams at each Sectional.

I would agree but give the home court advantage to Swarthmore over Hamilton. Very close on those two though.

So after watching the games tonight, I might put Swat at #2 in the remaining teams.  I'm not sure they're better than Augie, but they are playing stellar basketball right now.  Just really impressive.  Big guys who can run. Deep bench.

I took a flyer on those two teams as they weren't the teams I thought would end up in the Championship game, just the teams I wanted to end up there. Alas my dream final pairing is over but it was nice while it lasted. I'm still in good shape in a number of the fantasy leagues so I'll have to get my NCAA jollies rooting for my players. Go Prairie Wolves!! I got 3 of those guys on one of my teams. May not even need to win another game to win that league.

I think it would be fun to predict the Fort Wayne Four before the season even starts.

1st round - 1 pt
2nd round - 2 pts
Sweet 16 - 3 pts
Elite 8 - 4 pts
Final 4  - 6 pts
Final - 8 pts
Winner - 10 pts

It's Smitty's thread, his choice.

[Smitty Oom]

I like it, lets do it!!

[Greek Tragedy]

Sounds good! Get your 4 teams in before the start of the season!
