The rubber match!

I doubt I could pick a top 10 right now, much less a final 4. Just guessing?
 1) North Carolina
 2) Villinova
 3) UCLA
 4) Kansas
 5) Duke
 6) Arizona 
 7) Gonzaga
 8) Louisville
 9) Oregon
10) Kentucky
Total blindfold dart throwing exercise here. Nobody has shown me anything about being a champion yet.

The only way anybody gets money on this year's tournament is with a gun. I got no idea.

This one is gonna be a fun ride.  As @YukonRon says, "dartboard picks will do just fine."  Who's standing next Sunday night... Bring it on!

Could this be the year of Cinderella? Cap is right, see who is left standing.

My cousins son (Carson Williams) plays for the Norse from Northern Kentucky University.  They are in the Horizon league.  Having been ineligible for post season play for 4 years after moving up to D1, they won their tournament in their first year of eligibility.  He's a freshman (Ky's Mr. Basketball last year).  While I don't hold out much hope for them, they'll probably be a 15 pitted against a 2, it would be nice to see them stir things up a bit.  Go NORSE!!!!!!

Most brackets have them plying UK in Indy, as of now, and that could all change.

I had heard that, and it sucks, enormously.  Why would the committee do that kind of crap?  Pit a small school against a large one from the same state.  But then when did the NCAA ever try to look after the interests of the student athletes?  It's whatever they think will bring in the most money.

The UK AD is on the selection committee. Hopefully he will push that off. I wish the best for your cousin's son.

Thanks Ron,  he's a great kid.  4.0 student in high school.  My wife taught he and his brother.  His bother played ball at Carson Newman and is graduating this year.  Pre-Vet.  Had an interview at Auburn this week.
