I have Iowa State going to the title game and just for the hell of it I picked St. John's to beat Duke in the second round.

It will come down to the Big 10 screwing me...
One way or another.....

It always does

I'd say that Wisconsin has the best chance to go far. I like Michigan State but hard to trust a team that shoots less than 70 percent from the line.

I would like to see St. John's beat Duke too, but it just got a bit difficult now with this:

St. John’s Facing Tough Road In Tournament Without Suspended Obekpa

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — St. John’s has suspended junior center Chris Obekpa for two weeks for a violation of team rules. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Red Storm.
The school announced Sunday that the suspension would include any postseason games this season until March 29. Ninth-seeded St. John’s will open the NCAA Tournament on Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, against No. 8 San Diego State.
“Chris has been suspended for a violation of team rules,” coach Steve Lavin said. “All of the young men associated with our program are held to standards consistent with the aims and mission of our University. Accountability is tied to the decision making of our student-athletes. It is our hope Chris will learn from this experience.”
Obekpa tested positive for marijuana, the New York Daily News reported.
Obekpa started 24 of 30 games for the Red Storm (21-11) this season, averaging 5.8 points and 7.0 rebounds. The 6-foot-10 center led the Big East and ranks fifth in the country with 3.2 blocks per game. He blocked 94 shots this season and holds the program’s record with 321 over his career.
Obekpa was ejected from the Red Storm’s loss to Butler on Feb. 3 for throwing an elbow to the head of Tyler Wideman.
Scott Barnes, the chairman of the NCAA Tournament selection committee, said the school informed the committee about the suspension Saturday night. The absence of a suspended player can be taken into account in the selection process.
The committee had “a lot of conversation about it,” and “it impacted their seeding slightly,” Barnes said.
St. John’s last made the dance in 2011 but hasn’t had an NCAA Tournament win since 2000. The Red Storm, without Obekpa, would be on a collision course to face No. 1 Duke if they can get past San Diego State.
“In trying to restore a once-proud program, there are watershed moments,” Lavin said, according to the Daily News. “Winning a game would be the next one. . . . but the goal is to do something special.”

Exactly

So I will go against Michigan State.
And they will end up in the final 4

And Wisconsin, who I have making a deep run...Will get knocked out early.

Why?
Because they are from Wisconsin! !

Ha, Practically the whole world is on Michigan State's bandwagon as a low seed sleeper. A lot of times when that happens with teams that aren't dominating, the other team wins. That could happen with Georgia. Of course I picked Michigan State in two of three brackets and Georgia in the other.

As long as Notre Dame doesn't make the Final 4, I will be happy.
Good LORD, I would love to see those fuckers knocked out in the 1st round.

Good news: Your odds of finishing with a perfect NCAA men’s tournament bracket are far better than last year. If you follow FiveThirtyEight’s March Madness predictions in every game, you’ll have a 1 in 1,610,543,269 chance of calling every game right.

I have Arizona beating Virginia... Kentucky & Duke are my other 2 Final Four since neither one has a single legitimate challenger in their respective regions (go fucking figure).

More times than the amount of times I forget Tru TV. Though shouldn't only the lazy part apply given the amount of pushups you've been doing. I have an excuse. I'm working remotely in my editing gig Friday-Sunday.
