Bummed that the Utes were crappy this season, but I'm pleased that UCLA, Arizona, and Oregon are representing the Pac-12 well this year in the tournament.

My elite 8 look like this:

Florida vs Baylor

Kansas vs Oregon

Tarheels vs Wildcats (sorry UCLA)

WVU vs Arizona (Gonzaga is always overrated - they almost went undefeated playing Catholic schools all season, then got man-handled by BYU in Spokane, LMAO)


Predictions anyone?

I haven't watched much at all and didn't fill out a bracket. What a pathetic loser, but I just don't watch much college basketball.

I'm rooting for Arizona and Kentucky to go all the way to the championship game so it'll be the Wildcats vs Wildcats. :)

I was so pissed off that the Utes lost that I didn't want to fill out a bracket or watch any games. But I've simmered down a bit since then and filled out a "second chance bracket".

I have Kansas beating Florida in the championship game.

Along the way, I picked Gonzaga to lose to WVU and Arizona to lose to WVU as well.

Oregon won't get past Michigan.

UCLA won't get past KU.

I think Arizona is the only team that will make it to the Elite 8 and that's as far as the PAC 12 will go this season (I hope I'm wrong though!).

I did watch Oregon come from behind to beat Rhode Island which was pretty awesome, even though I despise Oregon :haha:

Dave - all of your picks look solid. I could totally see Kansas vs Florida championship game. Although UNC is really good this year, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if they went all the way.

The western bracket is by far the weakest of the four, and I agree that 'Zona probably won't make it past the Mountaineers.

I think the Ducks have become a basketball school...

I'm floored. I had Kansas going to the championship game. The Jayhawks are a perennial favorite who many picked to go all the way. I completely underestimated Oregon...and apparently everyone else did too.

Go Ducks Go!

How cool would it be to have Gonzaga and Oregon go at it for the Championship?

Go Zags and Ducks!
