2009 NCAA men's basketball tournament.

So the fields are out. Who do you think will win? Personally I think that Oklahoma, and Blake Griffin are going to take it all this year.

**RagedBerserker** · 03-15-2009, 08:45 PM

Syracuse all the way baby! No but seriously, it's going to be a tough tournament this year, anyone can win it.

super kid · 03-15-2009, 09:30 PM

My favorite team is duke, but i doubt they will win. It is very open this year, there is really know big name team besides UNC, but they just showed with out Ty Lawson they wont make the final four.

tupacodaman · 03-15-2009, 10:10 PM

i say uconn or duke

**dore** · 03-15-2009, 10:26 PM

Duke relies too much on outside shooting to be a solid choice for a deep run; they can lose any game that they don't get hot in. Just like in the game today how they were destroying FSU but let them come back when their shots stopped falling.
(all said while wearing a Duke jersey

)

Louisville is playing really good basketball right now, Memphis is looking solid as ever, Syracuse is looking decent. Pitt didn't look too hot in their conference tourney, UNC is questionable without Lawson. Anyone could win this tournament, and I'm looking forward to watching it

. I haven't done my bracket yet because I have no idea who I'm going to pick lol

super kid · 03-16-2009, 01:39 AM

I think Memphis should've gotten the number one seed.

clarinet89 · 03-16-2009, 05:28 PM

I think Illinois State got jipped. We were 24-9 and lost only by 3 points in overtime in the championship game of our conference tournament. Too bad the Missouri Valley Conference sucks so bad that only the champion can get in to the NCAA. Oh, and an ISU person got MVP of the tournament.

They got put in the same bracket as UConn since they were the two in contention for the fourth #1 seed, so (assuming they both make it to the Elite Eight) they'll play it out to see who should've been the #1 seed.

**badman7772** · 03-16-2009, 09:32 PM

Duke sucks. They win by like single digits.

I personally like UConn to win. Men AND Women's teams!

super kid · 03-16-2009, 10:40 PM

It's so wide open this year. Louisville is playing good basketball, not to mention if Jeff Teague is on fire Wake Forest is a good team, and Kansas has a good team they can catch fire and win it again, but i doubt they will. So who knows.

**stretchypanda** · 03-16-2009, 11:17 PM

I picked Oklahoma to win it all for men. I don't think it's going to happen.

I am rather annoyed the Baylor women didn't get a number one seed but the Oklahoma women did.

I suppose Oklahoma has a chance since Baylor's not in it. =)

Michigan St has a chance because Northwestern's not in it. =)

But seriously my money's on UNC. I think Pitt's physical style will get them into foul trouble in the final four. And I put Louisville in the final after beating Memphis in the final four. Memphis will easily beat up on the injured UConn but doesn't have the offense to compete with Louisville.

**igotrhythm** · 03-17-2009, 07:34 PM

I think Michigan is going to be this year's Cinderella by making it to the Sweet 16. Other than that, I don't have too many upsets in my field, but I have a Utah-Kansas Elite Eight matchup because I can't think off the top of my head the last time all 4 number 1 seeds made it to the Final Four.

As for Michigan State, they picked the wrong time to cool off. Kansas is going to get them in the Sweet 16.

I generally get at least half to two-thirds of my picks right in a given year, but somehow I get the feeling that that's not good enough to win a pool.

**All_That_Chaz** · 03-17-2009, 07:55 PM

My big upsets are USC taking out both BC and Mich St, however they won't beat WVU (which takes out Kansas) in the sweet 16, VCU taking out UCLA, and Western Kentucky shocking Illinois.

Nah I don't think Utah will make it out of the first round. I think Arizona will beat them.

GuidoHunter · 03-19-2009, 09:28 PM

The sum of my Final Four seeds is 23. LET'S GO KANSAS, TEXAS, MARYLAND, AND SYRACUSE!

KU over UT in the finals.

Pitt loses to OSU in the second round, UNC drops to Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, Louisville gets topped by Kansas in the Elite Eight, where Maryland defeats UConn.

Agh, I want UNC to win, but they probably won't make it far without Lawson.
I still am rooting for them, but I can't truly make a call as to who will win. It is just so open. On the other hand, that adds a lot more excitement to each game!

super kid · 03-19-2009, 09:50 PM

I think Michigan is going to be this years George Mason.

**igotrhythm** · 03-19-2009, 09:59 PM

They're on their way. I picked them to beat Clemson and they did.

Now let's hope they can get past Oklahoma. <_<
