    a combination of the Hill to Laettner pass just with more bounces on those who caught the pass before the shot was put up.

    My final four is Michigan State, Duke, Kentucky and St John's. With St. John's beating Kentucky for the title because as an alum of St. John's how can I not pick them when they're this good for the first time in 40 years.

    If St. John’s were to win would Rick Pitino be the only head coach to win a championship with three different teams?

    Surprisingly enough he’s the only one to win at two different schools. That is pretty shocking to me. You would have thought that someone else would have done it also.

    Roy Williams won a few at North Carolina but at Kansas he reached the final 4 four times and lost twice in the title game in 1991 to Duke and 2003 to Syracuse.

    We do a bracket at work every year. I don't really follow college basketball, so my picks are probably random at best. My final 4 is Auburn, Florida, Purdue and Duke. I picked Duke to beat Florida in the championship game.

    😂. Thanks for this. Haven’t had a good laugh in a while. 

    Texas with their 15 losses didn’t deserve to be there. Neither does Oklahoma at 6-12 in conference (TX also 6-12). Give these places to mid-major teams like George Mason or Boise State.

    Go Green
