Let the madness begin: My Final Four picks…

 

Center Greg Monroe will lead Georgetown to championship glory this season.

Just filled out my bracket. It’s so much fun, you just want to enjoy every pick.

As most people who follow my work know, I’m a risk taker on these things. Why do it and play conversative?

Might as well pick some first-round upsets. So here are mine for this year’s NCAA Tournament. (seedings in brackets)

Midwest: (13) San Diego State over (6) Tennessee. Don’t trust the Vols.(10) Georgia Tech over (7) Oklahoma State.

West: (12) UTEP over (5) Butler. Just like UTEP’s style. (10) Florida over (7) BYU.

East: (10) Missouri over (7) Clemson. Definitely don’t trust Clemson. Maybe it’s the orange.

South: None here unless you count (9) Louisville beating (8) California.

My bracket gets even crazier after that, but at the end, these are my Final Four picks.

Midwest: Georgetown. Will use the Big East title game to WVU as motivation.

West: Pitt. Got the Panthers and Syracuse meeting in the Elite Eight. Pitt will get it done.

East: Kentucky. Too much talent to not make it to the Final Four.

South: Louisville. If the Cardinals can be the tournament’s top overall seed, Duke, in the second round, they can make the Final Four.

Told you it was crazy.

Now I got Georgetown beating Pitt and Kentucky beating Louisville, its state rival.

As for my national championship pick? As much as I love John Wall, “Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap “Let’s Go Hoyas.”

Remember, they already beat Duke.

Soundly.
