Bracketology: My picks for NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Just filled out my bracket on ESPN's Men's Tournament Challenge. Have you?
My picks for this year's NCAA Basketball Tournament, by region (regional seed in parentheses):
Sweet 16/Elite 8 (winners of Sweet 16 games in bold and move on to the Elite 8)
Atlanta Region Duke (1) vs. Syracuse (5) Southern Illinois (11) vs. Texas (2)
Oakland Region Memphis (1) vs. Kansas (4) Gonzaga (3) vs. UCLA (2)
D.C. Region UConn (1) vs. Illinois (4) North Carolina (3) vs. Seton Hall (10)
Minneapolis Region Wisconsin (9) vs. Boston College (4) Wisconsin-Milwaukee (11) vs. Ohio State (2)
Final Four
Duke Kansas North Carolina Boston College
I've picked a few upsets in the early rounds, but aside from Southern Illinois, Seton Hall, Wisconsin and Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I predict things to shake out more or less according to plan
I don't feel good about these picks. I never do. I never get better than 50 percent right by the time March Madness ends.
