So who's in your Final Four???

[DomJamesToTheBasket]

I've got Louisville, Pitt, UCONN, and Oklahoma. Louisville over Oklahoma in the championship.

I really like the Big East #1's in this thing.

[Skatastrophy]

L'ville, Pitt, UConn & OK in the Final 4.  Pitt over L'ville for the championship.

[Wareagle]

Ville, Memphis, Pitt, UNC

Memphis over UNC in the final.

[OregonWarrior]

Pitt, Louisville, UNC, Memphis

Pitt over Louisville

[MU B2002]

Wake UCONN Nova UNC


UCONN over UNC

[radome]

Big East. Louisville, UConn, Pitt, Syracuse.  Pitt over UConn.  I don't know how Boeheim gets his team to come together at the right time the way that he does but I hope that Buzz can get some advice from him.

The Final Four won't be all BEAST teams, but I really like your Syracuse pick......they are a nice dark horse.

Echoing wareagle and President Obama in the Final Four, I have Louisville, Memphis, Pitt and UNC.  Though I'm taking Pitt to beat Memphis in the Final.

Yeah, I can see that too, the thing that gets me nervous about Pitt's chances is that they heavily depend on how the ref's decide to call Blair's inside play.  A couple quick ones against UNC and it's curtains.  That said, if Blair can bang I see Pitt winning the UNC game about half the time and the Memphis game a little less than half the times they play.  This is what makes the tournament great to watch.

[MUFC9295]

The emphasis on the Blair factor is/was to be expected.  But looking at the potential Pitt/UNC matchup, the inside game, in my opinion, will be won by Blair.  Hansborough could use his shooting to counter Blair's defense inside.  Fields, etc. (perimeter play) are being overlooked by the pundits as how the game is decided.  I see Pitt as more capable here.  But against Memphis, Blair has his way on both ends and that is the deciding factor in my Final.  In that game the perimeter matchups cancel each other out.  OTOH, these are the games I would like to see play out as I think they make for an exciting Final Four... wait, I'd like to see MU in another Final Four!  The aforementioned  matchups might be more realisitic.

Wake Forest, UConn, Villanova, North Carolina

Wake Forest has a team very similar to Nova, with a great inside-outside game and a bona-fide superstar in Teague.  Also, L'Ville hasn't hit a bump in the road in quite some time and I expect it to come some time in the tourney.  They have the ability to play VERY poorly and we may see it sometime soon.

UConn has the senior point guard, the big man in the paint, and the compliments in Jeff Adrien and an amazingly rejuvenated (ever since the MU game) Stanley Robinson. Kemba Walker has also played like a stud and I think this team is in a weak regional.

Villanova is a tough team to hang with for 40 minutes, especially when the Corey's and Reynolds are hitting.  Add Cunningham's 17 footer to the mix and you've got a tough team that matches up with Pitt better than any team in that region.

North Carolina has to be favored to win the whole thing and I am hardly sold on Oklahoma.  If Lawson is hurt, they will have trouble making the Elite 8, but Hansbrough's last hurrah at getting a title is hard to pass up.

UConn beats UNC in the Finals.

My picks are very similar to Obama's which is interesting on many levels.....it's Big East heavy

Glad he's going to be watching on Air Force One using the old DIE-WRECK-TV

Well since Obama's been wrong on a lot of things in the last 3 months I guess I'm good to go with my final 4!

Don't know if Bruce agress with me, but it wouldn't change my thoughts about him coaching MU. BTW, was Crean asked what his opinions were? Or is he out of sight, out of mind?

[MUSF]

Wake, UCONN, PITT, UNC

Pitt over UCONN.

Lawson's toe scares me but that team is talented.

Wake has some legit stars and L'ville has lost some questionable games this year.

UCONN is just a feeling.

This is the year Pitt plays to their potential.
