2. Heres mine

1. Oklahoma in the final.

2. Georgia Tech in the final 4

3. Gonzaga in the final 8

4. UConn in the final 8

5. Alabama in the Sweet 16.

I was 28-4 in the first round, 10-6 in the 2nd but I now only have a shot at 4-4 in the third, 2-2 for the Final 4 and 1-1 for the Championship. So I think I might be screwed.

5. UCONN, Florida, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest & Gonzaga

I had UCONN going to the Final 4.
Florida beating UNC, which they'll never get a chance to do.
Pittsburgh making it to the Sweet 16.
Wake Forest making it to the Elite 8 and...
Gonzaga making it to the Sweet 16.

I'm not doing too bad right now. I'm tied for second place out of 128 players.

7. I know nothing of basketball

And I'm not following it, but I still did a bracket, but I wrote a computer program to randomly pick the winner of each match-up. The University of Kansas came out the big winner at the end, and my sister (a KU fan) tells me they were eliminated this weekend.

8. My bracket has more holes than a pound of Swiss cheese......

1. UCONN screwed me over....I had them in Final Four.

2. OKLAHOMA nailed me as well. I had them in the Elite Eight.

3. I took it up the bobo with Wake Forest. Final Four.

4. The South didn't rise again when Georgia Tech kicked my butt. I had 'em in the Elite Eight.

5. The SEC can also kiss my grits because of 'Bama sucking it up so bad in the first round loss to FRICKIN' UW-Milwaukee.

My two Final's picks are still in, Duke and Illinois, with the Illini my pick to win it all.
