    I'm still torn between UNC and UCLA right now. I'm slightly leaning towards UNC right now, but it's possible that I could switch it up before Thursday.

    UNC, UCLA (perhaps UCONN), Memphis, Georgetown. Unless they lose to UCONN, I have UCLA winning it all.

    I thought last year was a bit of anomaly, in that there were barely any upsets. Haven't made picks yet, but I don't expect the same this year.

    I really like Kansas to win it all, but I haven't fully looked at the brackets yet. Only glanced at the first round match-ups last night.

    I love Kansas this year, but it is really hard to believe that Bill Self can coach them to the Final Four.

    Oh, well. Too bad for Clemson, I was hoping they'd end up upsetting a few teams.

    North Carolina because of the home court advantage they'll have, but watch out for Louisville and Norte Dame

    Kansas- they have a well balance squad, and a fairly easy region.

    Stanford- they match-up well against both Texas, and Pitt so I see them coming out of the South

    UCLA- UCLA will have a though match-up against Ucon, but their guard play will pull them through


    North Carolina will get beat by Kansas

    Stanford will get beat by UCLA

    Kansas vs. UCLA

    UCLA- Champions

    I have two 5s and two 1s.

    It's damn near impossible to pick against UCLA. I want to, but that bracket is weaksauce.

    I have two 1's, a 3, and a 4 in the final four. Not saying who yet though, because chances are I'll change it at least twice more before the first game begins tomorrow.

    UCLA, Tennessee, Kansas, Pitt.

    UCLA over Tennessee in the 'chip.

    BTW, St. Joe's over OU, Temple over MSU. AND POSSIBLY...Siena over Vandy.
