What are your predictions for the NCAA March Madness final 4? and reasons?

Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas, and Florida State.

Michigan State is too big and athletic to lose to Missouri who have no big men. They're one of the best rebounding teams and they're going to pound them on the inside.

Kentucky is a good pick. They have depth and that freak of nature Anthony Davis.

I like UNC but I think Kansas is just too talented to lose.

Wisconsin isn't a very good pick. I have them losing to Vandy in the round of 32 because they won't be able to stop them on defense.

Florida State is the hottest team coming in and have that lockdown D.

Love Wisconsin and their coach, but they never make the Final Four or even the Elite 8, even when they won the B1G a few years ago. The rest are possible, but I've got UNC, Kentucky, Ohio State and Michigan State.

I always go by region (place where the game is being played) in case it's in a schools backyard (ie. Greensboro effectively means Duke and UNC are playing home games. Ditto for WVU in Pittsburgh, Kentucky and Murray State in Louisville); the team and the coach (especially the coach), how the team has been playing and history. For team, I good with history regarding seeds and tournament winners. It's unusual for many "at-large" bids to reach the FF. This year though, odds arewe'll have at least two "at-large" bids in NO. My FF-

Kentucky, New Mexico, Florida State and Kansas.

Kentucky- typically I like Kentucky but I don't like this idea of recruiting five star talent and then letting them go off to the NBA. There is no stability or true leadership and experience. However, their bracket is soft, and apart from a potential scare from UConn I see a easy path to NO. Plus, their bracket plays in Atlanta, the Kentucky fans will be there in droves.

New Mexico- Not a typical mid-major school. Like SDSU last year, I love these guys. They got a bad second round match up with LBS but I think they'll take them. After that, they have the size and shooting ability to beat Davidson/Louisville. Plus, they have veteran leadership. Plus, the regionals are in Phoenix, right in UNM's backyard. I think NM has the depth, size and shooting ability to upset MSU and the Mizzou/NM game will be epic. NM has the size that gives Mizzou fits. Even if State beats them, MSU, Mizzou and NM won their conference tourney, so there's the first conference tourament winner.

Florida State- Fab Melo being out and Vandy's history to losing to "inferior" talent makes them the de facto favorite from this region. They play tenacious D, have size, scare me with inconsiistent shooting, but that defense can stop anybody. Plus, I think it's very likely they don't face Syracuse.

Kansas. I'm not a Kansas fan, at least not since Williams left. But they're playing in St.Louis in the regionals and I'm sure the fans will come out in droves. Georgetown can beat them, I think they'll ride out the crowd behind them and the close win they'll have against Georgetown and beat UNC who I really don't like at all. They have talent, but they seem lazy at times to me. I really wanted to take Georgetown in this bracket, but playing in St. Louis swayed me to take Kansas.

That's a solid FF. Kentucky is going to NO and Mizzou has proven that they can win without size. UNC can win, but I hsitory isn't on their side, plus GTU and KU are not good matchups for them. Wisconsin though, they have too many issues to me. I have Montana in the upset. Even if they win, Vandy/Harvard present match up problems. Both play great D, have size and Wisconsin's poor fast break defense mean disaster for them.

kentucky because they should be able to get revenge on indiana and its a easy bracket

missouri because they will upset michigan state

north carolina because kansas has injuries

ohio state because syracuse is without its best player fab melo
