UNC winning it all, but MSU out in the 2nd round.
Whoa! Slow down!
Nova's down by 12 with 3:40 left! ;)
Every year I remind myself that Izzo is the best tournament coach in college basketball. Then I invariably pick MSU to lose relatively early anyway. Just can't bring myself to put a Big 11 team anywhere near the final 4.
I picked MSU to beat Loserville, but lose to UCONN.
I'm pretty sure I had MSU losing to...USC!

Well they have burned out in the 1st or 2nd round 3 times in the last 5 years so your strategy would have worked of late except for this year.
Just think that every kid Izzo has ever recruited made it to at least one final four. That is a crazy stat when you consider how hard it is to get there.

I had UNC beating Michigan State in title game. Proof is in the link above. -- Tom Keegan, Marquette '77
I had the entire final four correct, but my final was Villanova over UCONN unfortunately

Yeah, don't worry about the 5 final four appearances in 11 years, total and complete fluke if you ask me
I did have MSU going to the title game, losing to Pitt. Villanova pricked that bubble a week ago.

You also had MU losing to Utah State?? Get out of here with that crap! ;D
I had UNC beating MSU in the title game. That bracket won me $300.
I had NC winning it all in one pool, and UCONN in the other. I had MSU out 2 rounds ago. Shows you what I know. LOL

Izzo is a great coach and MSU a great program, that's why we hired Tom Crean from MSU. No fluke at all, all I'm saying is that as of late, they haven't been that good in the tournament. Good to see them back on top. Probably drives Bucky fans crazy.
I was 0-4 in FF picks but my 15y son has UNC beating MSU on Monday.

I did! I have UNC winning tonight. Despite this, I only finish second in my pool of 50 participants if UNC wins (third if they don't) because of a myriad of ill-advised upset selections. I had, for example, Michigan State taking out Missouri to reach the championship game.
