On top of that.......since Bruce Paine is not going to be able to participate because they don't have the Internet in Minnesota......The Lovely Dentist and Hott for Teacher are going to be sharing their brackets and their analysis. You think that sounds like a good deal???? There's more.....if YOU want to send me your bracket....I'll post it on the site and let the world take a gander at it. Come on, all you guys who like to rip on me for not being able to pick games...send me your bracket!!

 Before I get too far into this it needs to be said that I only fill out my bracket one way and stick with it. I know some of you are filling out brackets with every combination possible on them in the hopes that you'll be winning some cash but...I just don't care about it that much. These are my picks, they took me about twenty minutes to make and I'm fairly content
East Region
I only have one upset in the first round of the East Region as I have South Alabama taking down Butler. Why? Because I think the Butler magic is over. If they aren't hitting from the outside, it's over and I think S. Alabama is athletic enough to make the Bulldogs uncomfortable. Sorry to Mack as I can't pick Winthrop this season, I'm sure you understand. Besides that I have pretty much chalk picks as North Carolina beats Tennessee to get to the Final Four
Midwest Region
I guess this is the region where I pick all my upsets as I have Siena taking down Vanderbilt in the first round and Clemson in the second round. Why? I think Vandy struggles mightily on the road and I just don't think Clemson is that good. How's that for analysis? In the bottom half of the bracket I'm taking Davidson to beat Gonzaga just because I want to see Stephen Curry go off for about 45 points. Kansas runs to the Final Four after they beat Wisconsin who might be surprise Elite 8 pick for some of you as I have them beating Georgetown. I really, really like the way Wisconsin is playing right now and I'm not a huge Georgetown fan as they're team looks worn out.
South Region
Oh yes, the region where the first #1 seed goes down in the Sweet 16 as I have Pittsburgh taking down Memphis. I think Pittsburgh can bog down the game enough to force it to become a foul shooting clinic and that will take out Memphis. I also have St. Mary's taking out Miami in the first round game, but that's not too big of an upset and I have Texas going to the Final Four by beating Pittsburgh in what should be a classic. Who would have thought Texas would make it further this season in the tournament without Kevin Durant?
West Region
UCLA, UCLA, UCLA. They have a pretty easy trip to the Final Four and I make it a bit easier as I have Western Kentucky taking out not only Drake, but also UConn in the second round. Xavier doesn't make it out of their second round game with Purdue as I think the Boilermakers will be re-energized after some extra time off because of their early Big Ten Tourney exit. Duke is taken out in the second round by Arizona, who beats Bob Huggins in a first round upset, because they just don't have an inside presence. UCLA beats Purdue to get to the Final Four on my bracket in what should be a hard fought, dirty game.
Final Four
North Carolina takes out Kansas as Bill Self once again proves that he struggles coaching big games and UCLA takes out Texas because of their Final Four experience.
Championship Game
UCLA over North Carolina in a battle of the two best teams in college basketball. I think UCLA has too much depth and Final Four experience for the Tar Heels to battle as I see the Bruins winning 78-72
