Final 4 picks...

[Hi-Low]

. UConn
. Arizona
. Marquette
. Creighton

UConn over Creighton for title #6. Go UConn!!

 

[SamIamCassell]

Zona always chokes.

 

[HooperScooper]

That would be a nice middle finger to the selection committee.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

If UNC doesn’t get in with their bracket…

 

[Ripper32]

Zona always chokes.

But they have great guards this year.

 

[ninety-nine]

The ones that jump out at me at first blush: UConn, Houston, Creighton, Saint Mary's. (Hard to forecast Marquette without knowing Kolek's status.)

 

[Vowelguy]

Rule # 1 about Gonzaga: choke when the favorite; great as an underdog

 

[Dove]

UConn

North Carolina

Marquette

Tennesee

 

[bendm]

#1 UConn
#2 Zona
#3 Kentucky
#1 Purdue

UK because I don’t think Kolek is coming back and Houston has lost its bench

 

[JungleLobo]

DePaul
Longwood
Incarnate Word
Syracuse

 

[uconnever]

UConn Creighton unc Marquette, we take down Creighton.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

UConn
Tennessee
UNC
Houston

I’m the most torn about the South region. Houston and Marquette are both really banged up. Duke just isn’t that good. Kentucky could roll pretty easily but not sure if I believe in them enough to not have one of their slip-up games.

I took my 82 year old dad to the BET Final at the Garden Saturday night. He's been going to games for decades, like just about every home game, but the last couple years he really has slowed down going because its harder to get around. To the point that he only went to one Gampel game this year. First he started missing XL games because the stairs there really suck, then he even started missing Gampel, because it was getting tougher. I lucked into some seats for Saturday literally on the Marquette bench (we were sitting with their coaches families, Hurleys right, that is a fantastic and classy organization but thats a different topic) so I had the VIP delta 360 club entrance at floor level (which also has great bathrooms and a bar) and it made things really easy to get in and out and not worry about halftime bathroom lines and all that. We had the time of our lives! I couldn't get him out of an Irish bar post game he was having too much fun drinking guiness and listening to the bagpipe and drum band that wandered in off the street and into the bar and just kept playing.

Great story
I had knee replacement and another due soon and those stairs at the HCC/XL suck and I am 69 yo.
Glad you and your father had the time to do this.
My son and I were in VT - Burlington to see Eggy at Nectars on Thursday and Friday after watching our Husky team win earlier in the day.
These are times you never recover.

Rule # 1 about Gonzaga: choke when the favorite; great as an underdog

Sure, when they are good. They aren't even good. Despite the seed, St. Marys is better.

I promise you that is HuskyHawks Final Four.

Come on man, at least tag me properly. I actually picked South Carolina to come out of that bracket. If Kansas is healthy (who knows?) and they survive Samford (iffy) then I think they are a bad matchup for Purdue. I have McNeese beating Gonzaga. In my "upset" bracket I have KU losing to Samford. Strong three point shooting team is not good for them.
