March Madness Preview

The regular season for College Basketball is over. So now we have the Tournament. Here are my picks for the Tournament.

Sweet 16:Florida,Butler,Oregon,Wisconsin,Kansas,Southern Illinois.Pittsburgh,UCLA,Marquette,Texas,Vanderbilt,Georgetown,Ohio State,Tennessee,Texas A&M,Memphis

Elite 8:Florida vs Oregon,Kansas vs UCLA,Texas vs Georgetown,Ohio State vs Texas A&M

Final 4:Florida vs UCLA and Texas vs Texas A&M

National Championship:Florida vs Texas

My Pick and the 2007 National Champion:Texas

My reasoning for picking Texas is I see them coming out following the loss in the Big 12 title game and blowing out New Mexico State in Round 1 and getting through the rest of their region to get to the Final 4 and play their arch nemesis Texas A&M in a rematch from a week ago. I believe in Durant and the Longhorns(despite me picking them to go the Final 4 last year and losing to UCONN in the finals.)this time they will go all the way and win their first Basketball title.

Now for the Weekly Awards

Game of the Week:Wake Forest vs Georgia Tech from Round 1 of the ACC Tournament

Team of the Week:NC State for making a HUGE run in the ACC Tournament despite losing to UNC in the finals

Player of the Week:Shaun King for his 10 touchdown effort on Thursday

See you Thursday for the NCAA Tournament
