Here’s my bracket for the upcoming NCAA Tourney. I don’t expect much to come of it. A couple years ago, I had a perfect day in the opening round. I was too excited about it and predictions seemed to be biting me in the butt after.
My Final four came down to Kentucky, Missouri, UNC, and Ohio State. I settled on a Missouri/UNC final because I don’t trust Kentucky in big games. They also had really close games in the SEC Tournament, a very weak conference. I took a long time deciding between Michigan State and Missouri. I’ve just seen the Spartans get off to some really slow starts that could hurt them in the tourney. Between Ohio State and UNC, I don’t think OSU will be able to score with the Tar Heels, even with their injuries. Plus, Henson should be back by then to help Zeller give Sullinger fits in the middle.
When picking between UNC and Missouri, I went with my gut. While they’ve had some tough losses, they’ve only been blown out once (by a hot-shooting Florida State team). I just have a feeling about the Tar Heels, especially with Marshall’s ability to find the open man in transition and his inability to turn the ball over.
