let's dance
I flat out love this time of year. Nothing like it. Full of imagination, dreams, unlikely heroics. Maybe that's why it conjures up imagery from ancient epics and fairy tales... 'Cinderella'... 'David vs Goliath'...
So, here are my picks for the Final Four.
Midwest: Louisville; West: UCONN; East: Duke; South: North Carolina
This sets up the ultimate Carolina-Duke battle in the Final Four. I hope they never meet in a championship game. Someone might die and cities would burn. And apocalyptic horsemen would appear on the horizon. It would not be good.
In the semis, Louisville takes out UCONN, and Carolina moves past Duke in a triple overtime blood bath / offensive barnburner. Barnburner is a great term. Coach K and Roy find a new level of respect for each other that nearly borders on like. Meeting at halfcourt for the postgame handshake, Roy invites Mike to lunch on Franklin St. Mike laughs. They agree to carpool to 'the story' Bible study instead.
This sets up a final between Louisville and UNC. The Big East has a chance to prove that they are the best conference with the best team. But they fail miserably. Roy's classy paisley tie tops Pitino's sleazy white suit. The ACC is hailed as unrivaled and Carolina collects the crown. We all go dancing on Franklin Street and I get my picture taken with the random celebratory green man...again.

good picks! personally, i like PITT to win the tourney.
i think the final four will be Memphis, Michigan State (I'm allowed 1 "homer" pick), Wake Forrest, and Pitt.
*i also think any comments next to Roy that include 'classy' should have an asterisk. because classy guys don't drop F-bombs in press conferences. (you never see Coach K doing that, he saves if for yelling at the Refs!)
my rock solid nearly guaranteed prediction:
MattyLee somehow falls backasswards into a ticket to go see some games during the tourney. He gets pictures in front of the team buses, a few pics with some assistant coaches in the background, we all find out via twitter and twitpic, we then are jealous and quite angry, but then realize, well OF COURSE that would happen to him- why wouldn't it?
much love.
ps- I love me some Duke, you know that, but they wont see past the Sweet 16. Ya need a bigman to make it to the fantastic final cuatro, real talk.
Matt your little brother is going to kick your butt.... LOL
I agree, it will be NC all the way, after all, it's what the Prez wants...
I am personally snickering at the fact that Kentucky didn't even make it in... (Minn. did and even little Morehead State...) Sorry Bro
I think my Jayhawks will meet and destroy your Heels...again...for a 2nd straight year :) Rock Chalk!
Oh, the paisley tie, makes my heart skip a beat...Roys looks alone are going to take them all the way!
