"Oh So Sweet"

"Two Steps Closer"
After an awesome weekend of basketball, March Madness once again lived up to it's name. My Bracket isn't completely destroyed yet. I've predicted 86% of the games right according to ESPN's Tourney Challenge. The stage has now been set for the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. The heat is on and who will answer the bell and push through to Houston to play in the Final Four? From what's left here's who I think will make it to the Final Four.

Here's the field of 16:

In the East:
Ohio State vs Kentucky
Prediction: Buckeyes! Too strong in the pant and can shoot the lights out of the gym.

 Marquette vs North Carolina
Prediction:Tar Heels! Hungry, because they weren't in the tourney last year. Too much pride on the line.

Final Four: Ohio State Buckeyes

In the West:

Duke vs Arizona
Prediction: Blue Devils! Too strong, well oiled machine. The Wild Cats don't have an answer. As much as it pains me to pick Duke but I don't pick with my heart.

UConn vs San Diego State
Prediction: Aztecs pull off a shocker!

"Don't Hate"
Final Four: Duke Blue Devils

In the Southwest:

Kansas vs Richmond
Prediction: Jay Hawks, Richmond's run ends here. The Jay Hawks are too strong in every phase of the game and has a deep bench. Good run for the Spiders but they get stomped.

VCU vs Florida State
Prediction: VCU is very athletic and long. They went through Georgetown and Purdue with ease. I think they have what it takes to get to the Elite Eight.

Final Four: Kansas Jay Hawks. Probably the most athletic team left in the tournament.

In the Southeast:

Butler vs Wisconsin
Prediction: Dawgs, how can you pick against them at this point. They made it to the title game last year. You have to pull for them now. Like I said in my post on Sunday Stevens is looking like a genius now.

BYU vs Florida
Prediction: BYU, the Gators have no answer for the Jimmer. I was pulling against the Cougars because they suspended Davies for violating the "Honor Code". Read my article entitled "POWER MOVE" But nothing gained! if you really want to know how I feel about that. Anyway the Cougars should advance although I wouldn't be mad if the Gators showed up.

Ya'll ain't know? We still here!
Final Four: Butler Bull Dawgs! You can't help but pull for them now plus I live in Indy so here I am. Read my article entitled Stevens Looks Like A Genius.

Once again it should be an interesting week of listening to the analysts act like they know what they're talking about. They know just as much as you and I. It's a complete crap shoot so roll the dice. Barkley's bracket looked like someone shot at it in a drive by. It was horrible and I'm supposed to listen to that guy. He's good television though. So there you have it, my Final Four from the teams that are remaining, Duke, Ohio State, Kansas and Butler. I initially picked Kansas, Duke, Syracuse and Pitt but that got blown up real quick.


If nothing else it's a good time and I'll right back at it on Thursday. Don't listen to these knuckle heads on TV or the radio. They don't know any more than you and I. So ride with me because I'll at least keep it real with you. Thanks for hanging out with TheJayGravesReport.
