    So @RoadDawg55 can laugh at me later for how dialed in I am ... I will take Villanova over Arizona for the title.

    In a Kentucky vs the field bet, the field looks strong to me. Computer models that I've seen place both Wisconsin and Arizona as toss ups against Kentucky.

    Iron Law of March Madness. Gonzaga doesn't make it past the Sweet 16. I have them losing in round two to Davidson.

    Wisconsin is going to do to Oregon, what Oregon's football team does to all their inferior opponents. Wiscy will beat Oregon by 30. If Altman takes this team to the Round of 32, it's an unbelievable accomplishment given the dumpster fire this team was in October. I just wish I could see an Altman coached Oregon team that had Ernie Kent's recruits in the mid 2000's

    I'm not a huge AZ guy, but I'm not sold on Villanova in that watered down "Big East," though I haven't watched any of their gaymes this year and I don't know much about them.

    I've never been a guy that look at the chalk and expects that to happen. Kentucky is good ... just not 100% convinced they are as good as everybody seems to think they are. They are being crowned but haven't really been tested by a good team in at least a few months.

    I'm not a huge fan of Arizona, but my thought process factors in the fact that Arizona has the size that can negate Kentucky (Wisconsin has the same) and that when faced with the thoughts of the Wisconsin vs Arizona game, Arizona may be slightly better this year and Wisconsin lacks some of the depth they had last year. The lack of depth really concerns me otherwise I'd have picked Wisconsin to win the whole thing - too much risk with foul trouble.

    I really like Villanova's draw. They are a solid team that does a lot of things I like from their unselfishness offensively to their strong positional defense that creates transition opportunities for them. This is probably the best Nova team since the Scotty Reynolds team that got to the Final Four. I'm not sold on Virginia in that bracket because they can really struggle to score and I just don't have faith that in a game against good teams that you can expect to win the game 50-48.

    If the champion is outside of Duke, Wisconsin, Arizona, Villanova, and Duke, I'd be really surprised.

    Fuck all the haters this is the best tournament on the planet. And no don't say Stanley cup or World Cup this is fucking America damn it.

    Eastern covers the 8 vs Georgetown
    Valpo over Maryland

    Zona wins the whole fucking thing.

    Looking forward to the Eastern game - will be down in Portland for the evening session tonight. 2 of the better games of the day.

    Really like the Valpo call over Maryland. I have both Buffalo and Valpo winning against 2 overrated teams - West Virginia more or less beat up on the underbelly of the Big 12 ... any team that shoots the ball at 41% is a ripe candidate for an upset IMO.
