@@lukaszmalinowski8675 And whose picks were better? Tell me, who selected SDSU, FAU, Miami, and UConn in the Final Four? Actually, this guy’s championship pick was pretty on point. He had no idea UCLA would play the tournament without Adem Bona. Bona is the perfect defender for Timme. Losing him changes the entire calculus.

I'm having a really difficult time picking the region Alabama is in. I know Alabama's quality is being vastly inflated, but they got a cakewalk draw. I don't know if I can really pick Creighton to come out of that region. Odds aren't good and I can't remember too many 12 loss teams making the Final Four. Nobody's talking about Baylor; maybe that's that team I've gotta pick then.

Memphis is a 8 seed and they beat the best team in the country Houston. And we also had a 26-8 record also winning the American Athletic Tournament.

Ppl are way too high on Duke. Classic case of being high on a team that’s hot going into the tournament. Everyone always makes that mistake of inflating teams that are hot.
