Well, my bracket is in awful shape. I’m missing 3 of my Elite 8, but my Final Four is still intact. So, lets look at Today’s games.
UConn over Purdue.
I’m really rooting for the Big Ten in this one, but I think UConn will be too much. Robbie Hummel is really good though, so maybe he can carry them into the Final Four.
Pittsburgh over Xavier.
I picked Pitt, but I’m going to root for Xavier. They really impressed me in their win over Wisconsin. Normally, I instantly hate any team that defeats Wisconsin in the tournament, but Xavier remains likable.
VIllanova over Duke
First off, I hate Duke. I also watched Villanova absolutely destroy a UCLA team I picked to go into the Elite 8. I think Nova was the benefit of home court and some questionable calls, but they still dominated.
Memphis over Missouri
Even though I’m a Wisconsin resident, I’m not much of a Marquette fan. I find it fitting that they lost to Missouri because of a sloppy turnover. Missouri is similar to Xavier in how solid they are. Memphis is my championship pick, so I’m going to have to take them in this.
I wouldn’t have thought that the most evenly matched games last night were such blow outs. And the Pitt v Xavier game people expected Pitt to roll and they barely won. Duke was awful, but I loved seeing that. The ACC is DOWN this year…lol! And Memphis? The media’s darling pick to win it all gets clobbered!
