1. Well, for starters, you put Wash. St. in the East. No one would be insane enough to do that.
:eyes:


Good work, selection committee!


That, and Texas is going to kick the hell out of Marquette.

2. Three #1 seeds rarely make the Final Four
Someone geekier than me could point out the last time that happened.

And I don't think an Ivy League school has won a game against a big-time school since Penn beat UNC in 1979.

There are several other games you'll probably lose.

3. No way Memphis makes it past the second round.
They're watching the rest on the teevee ...

Oh, and you left Louisville out of the Final Four.
