Georgetown over UCLA in the finals
Roy Hibbert took me far last year, he's gonna do it again this year. UNC can't stop Hibbert inside, he scores 40 in the final four.
Only team that could change is Memphis.
I got Georgetown in the sweet 16 but going no farther. They haven't played real consistent this year (in terms of play not record), and haven't been the best team in the Big East the past week or more. I have them out against Wisconsin who has size elsehwere and slows down the game by playing defense, which is easier than speeding the game up. Even if they do get past them, I can't see how they even touch Kansas. It's possible, but to get that far it's usually teams that are hot right now or simply are one of the most consistent teams.

Wisconsin seems to choke in the tournament every year. That said, the case could probably be made for them being a 2 seed.
Georgetown was just not consistent enough to make it in this tournament as I previously said. Tennessee survived against a game Butler team, so far pretty decent games today on Easter.
Brick - I have a tendency to follow college hoops sporadically over the season, then tune in for March Madness. I'm curious about UCLA. Their scoring was balanced in their first game against Miss Valley, but I'm not sure how much I learned from that. Against A&M, Collison and Love were really impressive, but they scored 85% of the points! Do they normally rely that heavily on those two, or was that an aberration? You know what I'm getting at - do they have the scoring depth to carry them all the way through?

I honestly have no idea. I didn't watch a minute of hoops this year, and just participate in the bracket pool because (a) it makes the games interesting and (b) I like to gamble.
