I don't buy into Pitt, don't know why, just don't have a good feeling about them being a strong team in the tournament...

[SERocks]

I feel that way about West Virginia (EDIT:  Probably due to my dislike for their coach).  Frankly I like Pitt.  Then again I tend to give Big East teams a lot of credit when it comes tourney time.

Should be interesting.

He has DJO as 1 of his 5 lesser known tourney heroes.

I may be completely wrong here, but is Kentucky a little too in-experienced to make a final four run? Bilas has 12 seed Cornell knocking off UK. Even though that's a long shot, could UW knock off UK? After watching the Mississippi St. Game UK just didn't look good.

[The Pickle]

I think Bilas is crazy.  I don't think Cornell will get past Temple...

I have Template beating Cornell.  I have UW beating UK.  And I have Pitt and WVU in the Final Four. 

I also tend to finish last in bracket pools.

chapman, you might be onto something with UW beating UK.  UW has two senior leadership at the guard positions, good post players, and a star player in hughes.  I think you might be onto something...

I also have UW beating UK. I thought I was the only one who thought of that genius idea! Guess not.
