My NCAA Picks

This post was actually written before the tournament began.

UNC, Florida, Oregon, Ohio State….nope nope nope and nope.
I will not stray too far from what is expected but wont give the favortes a free ride to my best guess.

As of this moment, I am likely picking Kansas VS Memphis in the NCAA finals. My pick isnt one of who is the best or who could beat who but a bigger picture view of who has to do what before they get to be in the final game.

UNC is a great choice but they have such a hard road and so many “great tasks” to achieve that they will set themselves up to fail with great wins over Marquette and Texas.

All great achievements have equally great leveling off processes right around the corner, which is all a team will need to build a lead on them in the game that takes them out, likely Georgetown or Memphis in the final four.

Memphis will also have the task of handling Acey law IV in their group and Greg Oden to deal with, but I see both of those team as having a tendency toward flat spells.

Acey law is an amazing finisher, a great fourth quarter talent to rival Jordan and Wade in scope when compared to his peers, but when an opponant hits a few shots down the stretch he wont be enough.

This falling short only takes one time in the tournament.

I see memphis with a reasonible easy path and could be fresh to run over perhaps a stale Ohio State team in the round of 8.

This post, just now put live, was written before the start of the NCAA tournament.

The picks are looking pretty much spot on, so I deemed it still worthy of publishing.

Every team mentioned in this article is still alive in the Elite 8 and though Memphis isnt looking like the best of the group, this pre-tourney prediction is looking very much on target to making me look insightful.
