Sweet 16 Into Elite Eight, Into Final Four

Here are my picks for this weekend:

1 Kansas v 4 Southern Illinois

The Salukis have some sweet D, but so does Kansas. KU is the fastest team in all of college basketball. Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers can play some great D, they let you think you have an open shot before the block it. If SIU was playing any other team (or any other #1 seed) I'd give them a chance. But Kansas is too good, and they have been the most impressive team so far.

2 Memphis v 3 Texas A&M

God hates me. Why else would he have A&M and Kansas playing at the same time? No one really knows how good Memphis is, but I don't think they can overcome what will be a road game in San Antonio. Aggies advance.

2 UCLA v 3 Pitt

I want UCLA to lose so Kansas can walk into the Final Four...but I don't know if Pitt is good enough to win. Pitt was overseeded this year, still the game should be great. UCLA advances.

1 Ohio St v 5 Tennessee

Bruce Pearl is a freak. No shit. I blame him for making Pat Summit coming out in a cheerleader outfit. God punishes Pearl by allowing O-H, I-O advance.

1 Florida v 5 Butler

Uh, Butler shouldn't be playing. Florida walks.

2 Georgetown v 6 Vanderbilt

I enjoy Vandy's spunk, but they cannot hang with Georgetown.

3 Oregon v 7 UNLV

As a rule, you have to go against Pac-10 teams. Run Rebs!

1 UNC v 5 USC

Pac-10 sucks, I cannot believe they got by Texas. UNC rolls.

ELITE EIGHT:

1 Kansas v 2 UCLA

I cannot go against Kansas until they show me weakness. Rock Chalk!

1 Ohio St v 3 Texas A&M

What? Is this a football game? Acie Law scores a million points. Ohio St goes back to crying about the BCS Championship versus Florida.

1 Florida v 7 UNLV

Ugh, Florida goes to the Final Four, like we all knew.

1 UNC v 2 Georgetown

I don't know, I had Texas winning this bracket. It doesn't matter, A&M is winning this side of the bracket.
