OK. I know this is a baseball group, but I'm tired of talking about steroids, poker, social security and congressional hearings. We need to talk about something more important.

Final Four Picks.

Let's everyone put their picks here and see who is right.

By the way TR will pick UCONN (just a guess) to win it all. He'll be close.

My picks:

Wake Forest beats Illinois in one semi; while Syracuse (yes Duke stays home) topples UCONN (TR has influenced me to look at UCONN but they can't win it all).

Finally, Wake Forest prevails in a great final over Syracuse 75-71.

Lets hear what everyone else says.

One rule: Anyone who picks an ACC Final Four gets banned from the site. LOL

I don't think my KY Wildcats will make it that far - sorry to say. Frown They'll fall in their second game. I don't know if I can predict the final four, but I'm calling for Illinois to go all the way. I think they can take Wake Forest. I don't think Wake will make it to the final four. I think UConn or Syracuse have a very good chance - both talented teams. Your Florida gators looked pretty good the past couple of Sundays - but don't think they have the depth to hang in there for the entire journey down the road.
FloridaBaseballGuy...here's a short description of the first Wake vs Illinois game or did you forget?

Illinois certainly made a case for the top ranking Wednesday night, turning No. 1 Wake Forest into a nonconference patsy with a 91-73 rout that wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated.

"They played infinitely better than we did. I don't know how much more clearly I can say it," Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser said. "They made shots that were open, they made shots that were contested. Their offense was exponentially better than our defense, hence the score of the game."
Oklahoma St.
Wake Forrest
NC
Duke

Okla St. will win it all baby. Eddie Sutton is one of the best coaches over the last 20 years. Just look at the success achieved at Kentucky and the huge turnaround at Ok St. The team has around 11 seniors who made it to the final 4 last year. With the emergence of John Lucas and freshamn phenom JamesOn Curry, they will be a tough team to stop.
I actually had Vermont winning in my bracket over Syracuse. I was at the UNC Vermont game early in the year when UNC killed them. But I have seen them a couple of times this year and I felt it was a good match up for them with Syracuse playing a zone against their shooters. Now Bucknell? That was a huge huge huge upset anyway you cut it. Congratulations to both those schools.
