Obviously some may be null and void and dependent on Selection Sunday proceedings, but here are a few of mine....

1) ASU will make the tourney as a 12 seed and advance to the Sweet 16.

2) Ernie Kent and Oregon will be snubbed from the tourney. Kent will be fired and Mark Few will replace him after Oregon offers huge $$$. Undoubtedly, a "Hire Ernie Kent" thread will be made the day of his firing.

3) Nebraska gets in after winning the Big-12 Championship tourney

4) UNC will not make the Final Four.

5) Duke will not make the Elite Eight.

6) The Big East will have 1 team make the Elite 8 and none in the Final Four.

7) Kansas and UCLA will meet in the Final Four or the championship game and UCLA will win either by more than 15.

Probably, but Duke could have had they beat them last weekend, so you can't really complain. Duke will still get the pod game in Raleigh at least.

I just know that UConn will end up playing UNC in the Sweet 16 in North Carolina... again.

My bold postseason predictions:

1) Pac-10 gets FOUR Sweet 16 teams (UCLA, Stanford, Wazzou and SC)
2) ACC gets two Elite 8 teams (Duke and UNC) -- not really bold but against the trend
3) Drake loses in the first round
4) Kansas does NOT make Final 4
5) WVU makes a surprise run to the Elite 8 carried by what might be the best player in the country at this very moment, Joe Alexander

Georgetown will win it all, like I had them doing in my bracket last year...I was merely a year off

3/14/2008 1:01:54 PM

georgetown will lose in the sweet 16.

3/14/2008 1:15:10 PM

i'm actually picking UCLA to win it all but I'll probably have the Hoyas in my Final Four...they play some damn good defense and have everybody from last year's Final Four team except for Jeff Green

3/14/2008 1:15:53 PM

I could have sworn I made a thread about this earlier.

Forgetful motherfuckers.

Herb doesn't make it to the sweet 16 til hes about to leave and I think he still has a few years left at asu

3/14/2008 3:52:46 PM

Over/Under on announcers saying "Laser" (Kevin Love outlet pass) = 4.5
Over/Under on Russell Westbrook's balls grazing someones face = 1.5
Screenshots of UCLA cheerleader you'd cheat on your woman to have sex with = 5.5

3/27/2008 9:08:10 PM

not that it changes what i said in this thread, but i'd like to note that in my actual bracket that i submitted to my various pools, i had kansas beating georgetown and winning it all

3/28/2008 5:06:48 PM

I really wanna see Love and Hansbrough go at it.

[BOLD prediction]Stanford makes the Final Hour[/BOLD prediction]

Side note: Has any team ever played another team four times in one year? If UCLA and Stanford get through, it'll be the fourth time they play this year.

3/28/2008 5:17:48 PM

Duke and Maryland in 2001

3/28/2008 5:39:49 PM

Cool, thanks. I was thinking Duke/UNC but I don't think they've played each other in the tourney.

3/28/2008 6:45:24 PM

davidson over wisconsin

3/28/2008 8:27:55 PM
