Michigan handled a good Texas team. I think they get by Tennessee/Mercer to play in the Elite Eight. That game will probably be against either Wichita or Louisville. Both teams are tough but good matchups for Michigan.

Wisconsin beat Oregon who was a bad matchup for Wisconsin. They squeaked by basically with a home game, but a win is a win. If they get by their next game, they prolly get Zona on basically Zona's home court. Tough game but doable.

Michigan State seems to have the easiest path IMO. I look for Memphis to beat Virginia and Iowa State just lost their best player. We will see.

I think Michigan has the best chance.

If it comes down to it I think Zona throttles Wisconsin, and at this point I like UNC to beat MSU in the EE.

Nah, UNC might not even beat Iowa St with Niang out.

My bracket has Sparty winning it all. (Thought they were the best team coming into the season as well.). And I got crazy and took Wisky to make the Final Four. (Dont mistake that as faith in Bo in the tourney, I got crazy.)But I don't know if the Wolverines have two good shooting games in them. If Louisville loses before they face off, maybe. (I dont see them beating the coach they almost landed.)But I think Mercer can do to them what they already did to Duke, which is beat them. All three have a fighting chance though.

Hoping for and predicting at this point.... MSU the only B1G team. Creighton/Baylor winner I see beating Wisky.

Michigan has the next best chance after MSU IMO.

Sorry my Wisky friends, just not seeing yall beating SDSU or Zona. If you get that far.

Not sure if Arizona gets far enough to play Wisconsin. Oregon is currently a better team than Arizona and once Wisconsin slowed the game to a reasonable speed, Dekker and Kaminski took over the game. At any rate, Wisconsin will lay a beat down on Arizona....if they get that far.

MSU has always been my pick for a lock to the final 4 over all teams.

It would be pretty sweet to see all 3 make it but that's a tough task. I had MSU and Michigan going in my bracket. I had Wisconsin losing to Creighton in the Elite 8. All 3 are good enough but good enough rarely matters in March. I wish them all luck but I'm not counting on it.

I have Baylor squeaking by Creighton as, by now everyone knows to take the 3-shot away from Wraagi(sp) and play McDermott tight. Those two take more shots than the rest of the team together. Actually McDermott is the "black hole"; once the ball goes to him, it does not come back. I like Wisconsin all the way to the final 4.

Could be three, could be zero. Who knows?

Also, classy post WhiteMamba... calling out the team that just beat yours as the one that doesn't have a chance. :rolleyes:

I'd like to see a Wisconsin/Florida rematch in the final.:nod:

That would be cool. A month ago, I thought Florida was just too good for that team...no longer! When Wisconsin shows up, they can really play. You just can't let Dekker and Kaminski ease down the court and stand around anyplace they like. We don't have that really big man inside to deal with Kaminski; MSU does: Right now, I think Florida has a better chance against MSU than Wisconsin.

I think only the Spartans make the Final Four.. Louisville will beat Michigan IMO.. Both teams lost similar assets and they won last year.. I had Wiskey losing the Creighton..

I think just 1. I'm gonna say Michigan. Michigan State will lose to UConn.

Not so worried about Louisville, but I can see them slowing us down a bit. I'm ready to see what Wichita State will do against a bigger, though overhyped, Kentucky squad.

Wow, lots of differences in opinions on how good the teams are. That is what makes it so great. You just never know until the games are played.

All depends how Creighton shoots, IMO. If they're hitting their 3's, it's hard for anyone to beat them... but a cold night shooting and they get bounced from the tourney. It'll happen eventually, whether it's against Baylor, Wisconsin or Zona/SDSU is anyone's guess.
