I've got some gut shots for the Final Four that will meet in Atlanta.

Florida out of the Midwest. Unless something strange happens, Florida seems to have the easiest region. TChris' team Wisconsin, has lost its center and its swagger. Frankly, their talent level seems a notch below the other top teams to me. While Alando Tucker is obviously very good, I think he is not as good as some want him to be - I think it is a function of talent problems for the Badgers. Neither Oregon nor Maryland seems threatening to Florida to me.

My other Final Four picks are Georgetown, UCLA and Texas A&M. For now. Discussion to come.

    Durant5 of Texas and ODen of Ohio State.

    My own favorite could be an NBA superstar is Corey Brewer of Florida.

    Hey, if you are going to keep this up, let's devote some discussion to the Women's NCAA Basketball tournament.  It's going to be pretty exciting, too.
    Is the tent big enough for the Women?  ;>)

    All that's gonna hurt UCLA... (none / 0) (#5)

    ...is their lack of size and offensive strength down low and inside.  They have the defenders and bangers in there, just not the big go-to post threat on the offensive end.  

    But they've got a few pretty decent players to make up for it.

    Slightly.

    You watch, Florida will repeat and the damn Gators will be drown in NCAA titles and tiny graduation rates.
