I'm going with UK, KU, Fl St, Zags
All these teams have good guards, at least one good big man that can post, and very good coaching.

Final 4 picks this week
- Thread starter School boy
- Start date
You never know and this is the year that the unbelievable probably will happen in basketball!
I've watched Gonzaga 5-6 times this year, and they are going to need the river to part their way to make it that far. Not close to the best team they've had. I think they're S16 at best.
With that said, I'm liking our chances. My picks:
UK
UL (yes, I know)
KU
FSU
Backup to everyone but us:
Dayton
Creighton
Seton Hall

Not sure I understand all the love for MSU...? Can someone who has them in their final four elaborate?
Like I said with my post above anything can happen in the tournament and there was at least a high seed below a 4 that has advanced to the Final 4 the past 9 years minus 2012.... I see this year as no different at least 1 below seed 4 will make it to the Final 4!
2019- 5 seed Auburn
2018 -11 seed Loyola-Chicago
2017- 7 seed South Carolina
2016- 10 seed Syracuse
2015- 7 seed Michigan State
2014- 8 seed UK and 7 seed UConn
2013- 9 seed Wichita State
2012- really no major upsets
2011- 11 seed VCU and 8 seed Butler

Deep team, good point guard play, athletic, plays defense, has postseason experience, starting to get more efficient on offense.
everyone’s picks look like our most likely region lol.
Cassius Winston and Izzo. Experience.
This is about the time they put it together for the tourney. And....a lot of other teams impress me less than they do is the only way I know how to put it. A lot of average teams right now.
Don’t they almost have 10 losses?
I get that though. Makes sense. Izzo usually (sometimes) is great in March and Winston is beast like.
Kentucky
Kansas
Gonzaga
Dayton
Kentucky beats Dayton
Gonzaga beats Kansas
Kentucky beats Gonzaga to win it all

Dayton and Kansas are highly likely in same region!
Oregon, Kansas, UK and Villanova
Hopefully (for your sake) Kansas doesn’t do much this year, would really suck when it all gets vacated. Real classy program you all have out there.
Is it just me or doesn’t Kansas normally **** the bed when they’re one of the top favorites entering the tournament, with Self’s one title year being the exception. I know ole Roy had a habit of doing it.
My theory, games in the NCAA are, for the most part, officiated evenly (sans Duke, of course). KU gets a very favorable whistle in the Big 12. This is why they’re oftentimes exposed in March, and lose to the Northern Iowas and Stanfords and and VCUs and Bucknells of the world. Or like last year, when Auburn blew them out of the water.
They have a nice team, but let’s be honest. Azubuike, Dotson and Agbaji are NBA benchwarmers. They are vulnerable just like everyone else this year.

A small school such as Dayton or Gonzaga will never be allowed to win the championship. There is to much money to be made from a big name school winning it The tournament is all about money and not who is the best team.
