    Hmm, not sure if this is in the right forum. If not please move it.

    So who are your frontrunners now that the brackets have been released? I see they put UT in the South region. Can you imagine if they make it to the Sweet 16 in Houston, or the Final Four in SA? Tickets have already gone fast. Yesterday I got tickets in the 100 section. After the brackets were announced I could only find tickets in the 600 section....

    I have to say I'm not that interested but I like the first round matchup of USC and Kansas State. I wanna see Beasley tear it up! :)

    I just don't see UNC coming out of that bracket that they are in. Tough.

    I agree. I was absolutely stunned to see so many of the talking heads acting like the East was the toughest bracket. To me, it's the easiest, and it's not even that close.

    My SEC. lol :D

    I don't know, maybe it's just I haven't been too impressed with UNC. Maybe it is an easier bracket. We'll find out here in time though.

    Those ads are often based off of your browsing history, etc. What have you been surfing ;)

    My first bracket without any research has the following final four:

    Tennessee
    Clemson
    Texas
    UCLA

    I just don't see how UCLA doesn't make it. It may be my anti-Duke bias talking, but the Bruins have a cakewalk to San Antonio.

    I'm in that one.

    Final 4: UNC, Georgetown, Texas and UCLA.

    UNC over UCLA

    Kansas, Duke and Memphis will do their choking vs lesser teams as usual (at least of late). Kansas will have a touch time with Vandy/Clemson advancer, Duke in round 2 (Arizona/WV), and Memphis with rising and more battle tested Pitt looming.

    That's my Final Four/Championship game as well. That having been said, I know I need to throw an upset or two in there since everybody is going to be picking at least UNC and UCLA and more likely UNC, UCLA and Texas due to the homecourt advantage they have througout the Tourney.

    UNC, Kansas, Texas, Xavier

    Kansas over Texas

    Yes, I'm expecting all of these teams to lose in the first round now. :)
