NCAA
Tournament It’s time for our annual break from fantasy baseball draft preparations aka The NCAA Tourney. Below you will find my picks for this year’s big dance. Before the e-mails start flying in be sure to recall last year and ask yourself “how many people outside of upstate NY had Melo and the boys winning it all?” Nobody I knew. Remember that there is NO chance that all four #1’s make the final-4, in fact there is almost no chance the final-4 will be made up of ALL 1’s, 2’s or even 3’s for that matter. So if you see another “expert’s” selections, be sure to ask yourself how likely they truly are to occur. Good luck, be sure to pick at least on dark horse, and enjoy. PS if you are looking for a pool contact me at natenoy@hotmail.com, I’m in one with Will Lingo and the staff at Baseball America, the more the merrier. My
final-4 are UK, OK St., Cincinnati (yes I think they will knock out the
Dukies) and Stanford. I like the
Wildcats over Stanford in the finals.

Round
1
UK: what a reward for the play-in winner, a likely 40-50 point hammering by UK. UAB: the public is in love with Washington, but UAB is a solid squad that has played well down the stretch and did not get as extended at Washington did in the last week. Providence: Should cruise by 10 or more. Kansas: Don’t go looking for your #13 upset here. |

Note there is definite logic behind the rest of these picks, and I will clue you all in later in the week. However, for the sake of getting this posted ASAP I am just listing winners for the other three regions for now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
