North Carolina over Kansas
- It is totally gutless and spineless to pick the number one overall seed to advance to the championship game. Seeing how having "guts" didn't get me anywhere in any of my pools... here you go.
- As much as part of me wants to pick Kansas here, North Carolina has been on a mission filled with ass-kicking and destruction during this tournament. Plus...Kansas has defeated a #16, a #8, a #12, and a #10 seed to reach the Final Four. Not gonna go with the Jayhawks here.
- Bill Self...the jokes have been too frequent. But this blog will miss you. I will miss you. And this tournament will miss you after the game tomorrow.
- Jim Nantz and Billy Packer will rig the game if necessary to sing the praises of Tyler Hansbrough for one more day.
- Kansas cannot defeat two teams from the state of North Carolina in a row. It's impossible. Not going to happen.
- Confidence in this pick: 8.1
- This pick goes against many things I previously stated in this blog. But with their last two games, John Calipari and his Memphis squad have me convinced.
- The Tigers had a much tougher road to the Final Four than the Bruins and still won their games more decisively and impressively than UCLA. Plus...Memphis can't disappoint and underwhelm every year? Can they?
- Doesn't the team that feels the most "disrespected" always end up winning the big games now? Look at the NY Giants in the Super Bowl & Ohio State in the NIT. The whole "Us against the World" mentality is a good card to play. It's kind of a moronic card to play when a team is 37-1, but what place does logic and reason have here anyway?
- John Calipari is from Western PA and remains the pride of Clarion University. Ben Howland helped Pitt rejuvenate their hoops program. I'm torn here. But I have to pick someone, and I think that in the end, Memphis will be too quick and too athletic.
- Confidence in this pick: 6.3
1020 & 8101
