What does your bracket look like?

Now that the brackets are official for the NCAA tournament, i've already made my pics, and they're solid ones to. I did it quickly cause i've followed all aspects of college bball this year and feel confident in who i chose.

To make this quick i'll show you my elite eight teams to the final four and championship.

Elite 8-
Illinois, Oklahoma St., Louisville, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan St., Kentucky

I like Louisville because they've had one hell of a schedule this year, and Rick Pitino is a hell of a coach i think he can get them far. Michigan St. has always had a history of being a good tournament team, they won the National title several years ago under Tom Izzo, and they had a good season, they look tough to beat.

Final 4-
Illinois, Louisville, North Carolina, Michigan St.

I've never been really impressed this season with Kentucky, they've been kind of iffy this year even in their wins, they'll get far but not past Michigan St. North Carolina shouldn't have to many problems with Wisconsin, i love Wisconsin, and they're a great team, but i dont think they'll have what it takes to beat North Carolina in the Elite 8. Illinois will probably have a tough game against Oklahoma St., but they've almost always been able to pull through in clutch games and it's just time for them to get what they deserve this year. And lastly, Louisville, Rick Pitino, the year they've had, Wake Forest wont have a prayer, i think Garcia is gonna have a hell of a tournament.

Championship-
Illinois, North Carolina

Illinois will have another hard fought game againts Louisville, in fact i'm predicting it will be an overtime game, but they'll pull it off like they've dont all season. And Michigan St. wont be able to keep up with the high powered offense of North Carolina, they couldn't keep up with Illinois, so North Carolina shouldn't be any different for them. And finally the match up Digger Phelps (the douche bag) has wanted all season, Illinois vs. North Carolina, McCants vs. Brown (speed contest) I'm hard pressed to pick a winner for this one, but like i said earlier, this is Illinois' year and i think they'll be able to pull if off and win the National Title.

How does yours look?

Mine looks the same as yours for the most part. But for some reason I have a feeling UNC might go out early. No reason or anything behind it. I have Illinois winning too.

Maybe but North Carolina has a huge tradition of winning and they definately have the team to go far this year. Especially with the bracket they have, The Chicago bracket is loaded in my opinion.

Well I'm just incredibly biased toward the Illini, sooo yeah

I don't really keep track of sports so not sure who to pick really

Me to..probably has something to do with living right by Champaign, but they're good enough this year to make it all the way.

Illinois all the way, however I have a gut feeling they will get knocked off in the elite 8 by some low seeded team

If it's a low seeded team then hopefully it will be Southern Illinois.

True true...just that gut feeling thing, plus I can't look past them losing to that team in one of they're first games. I can't remember who it was but I'd never heard of them.

I completely agree about the Chicago bracket being loaded. What pisses me off it they say Illinois is the #1 1 seed but they don't play against the winner of the play in game and they end up with the hardest bracket :eek7:

i doubt illinois will make it outta the sweet 16

My Final 4 right now is Illinois, UNC, Syracuse, and Oklahoma St. I haven't had much of a chance to go through and figure the rest of it out yet.

I don't really keep track of sports so not sure who to pick really
:eek: Repent!

what about Duke? They're good every year

Even though i can't stand Duke, they are good. However Duke just doesn't have the depth on the bench to get them that far this year, they just barely hung on against Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship, i said it once already today and i'll say it again, Duke will get to the sweet 16 but they wont get any farther. They just dont have the bench to do it this year.

^^^Very true...JJ Redick can only carry them so far.

My bracket looks like a thing screwed into the wall shaped exactly like a bracket.

Amazing.... a bracket that looks like a bracket...

Well, I thought the question was fairly ambiguous. I took a stab at the right answer though.

Who do you all have in the Final 4? It could be anyone this year.

not big on sports so I :dunno:!!!!!

Who do you all have in the Final 4? It could be anyone this year.

Yeah it could be, that's basically why i based my final 4 picks on who is the best coached team to get there. Who can get their team up and ready for every game, cause every one's going to be a challenge for everyone this year. Rick Pitino, Bruce Weber, Tom Izzo, Roy Williams.

my final four are: wake forest, arizona, michigan state, and florida. i dunno why, but florida seems to be getting really lucky upsets lately. and i like michigan state (we beat them LAST year, not this year :( ).

I've got Oklahoma St, Wake Forest, UNC, and Syracuse w/ UNC beating Wake in the championship game.

my final four are: washington, illinois, UNC, and Duke

with UNC and illinois going at it in the championship game... UNC winning

Final Four: Syracuse, UNC, Duke and Illinois

Games starting in about two hours! I can't wait. The next 2 days are the best sports days of the year.

I am not sure but my sister went with her school SJU(Saint Joseph's University) to the A10s in Cinci. As long as they fair better then Villanova and Temple I don't care where they stand.

St Joe's in actually in the NIT, not the NCAA Touney. Villanova is in the NCAA's and Temple is in the NIT. So, Villanova is the big winner of those three.

Not a bad start for me so far. 6-2. I wasn't expecting Alabama to get upset... Although i was always unsure about my Iowa over Cincinnati pick. Now i have to wait another 2 hours for the next game and it's not until 6 oclock.

Edit: After watching Kentucky today i'm really nervous about my pick of taking them to the Elite 8 over Oklahoma... Shit...
