Final four picks

Unless we are blowing them out, that's some stress I don't need! But I don't think they want to see us either. They still haven't seen us at 100%!!
That’s the love/hate of the possibility of Duke vs UNCheat in the champ game. If I knew Duke was going to blow them out, then I’d love the idea. If they beat Duke on a 2016 Villanova type shot at the buzzer I think I’d have a panic attack or a heart attack.
Remember the name Abilene Christian. They will become only the 9th 15 seed to topple a 2. Also, I'd like to change my picks to Duke, Gonzaga, UVA and Houston.
Not totally Fear, because as one would imagine Bilas took Cheats over us in finals...
OFC
I don’t want to give away my F4 teams, but my championship game score prediction is 119-84.
You're wrong. flUKe getting bounced by a 15 .
If they get bounced by a team that’s only been a D1 school for a very short amount of time there will be riots in Lexington.
"The Duke Blue Devils are the heaviest favorites entering the NCAA tournament since the 2014-15 Kentucky Wildcats, who arrived at the Big Dance undefeated but lost in the Final Four."

I have yet to fill out a bracket, but I think Duke over UT is where I will end up. I don't think I like the zags to make it and not sure about ky either.
I know, thank God I no longer live/work there! It's gonna happen though, Abilene is a good defensive and 3pt shooting team with a pretty nice 27-6 W/L record. They're gonna come out and light up the unsuspecting, young Wildcats and hang on for the biggest upset since UMBC
Man, those top eight seeds are all really good teams. I'm still trying to sort my picks out other than Duke. I do find it interesting that Duke is the only one seed to win their conference tournament. Granted two of the three were going to lose, but UVA lost earlier than they should have. I still think Duke has a gear that they haven't gotten into since the UK game. If that team shows up in the Final Four, it won't be close.
Tough to pick. So many different matchups and there will be upsets. I still think Carolina not leaving the state of NC for almost the entire month of February is a variable no one is discussing on ESPN or CBS. They are a great team and have played a tough schedule. But, does anyone remember how they looked at Clemson before the ACC tourney? I think Utah State or Washington may surprise some people in Columbus this weekend. Just my two cents. I'll probably be wrong, but I hope not. As for my picks, I'm going Duke, Michigan, UVA, and Kentucky. Duke and UVA in the title game. With Duke beating UVA for the third time this season. 76-67.
Duke
Virginia
Gonzaga
UNC/Kentucky (I can’t make my mind up between these 2)

Duke and Gonzaga for sure, Tennessee and either UK or Houston for me. I still don't trust Virginia. Especially after we beat them without Tre.
Duke over Tennessee in the final.

I don't have the same final four, but I have the same finals
I can actually see it! I would almost think the chance is better than slim to be honest. That would be wild to have an all ACC final four....or maybe annoying. Lol
That's a good one man. I would bet you the farm on that Abilene (first time ever making the dance) Christian. Lol, made my day
Well, now, if it happens, this post will live in infamy on this board. But, I don’t think you have too much to worry about.
It's been awhile (15-16 Michigan State) since a 15 beat a 2, Abilene is not a bad team and the efficiency difference between you guys and them (7-144) is smaller than the difference was between UVA and UMBC (2-166) so, don't count your chickens before they hatch man.You squad could come out flat, and an inconsistent offense could be your demise.
They could, probably wont. They can shoot 3's. Duke could also get beat in opener now that Virginia has shown it could be done
I have Duke, TT, UT , and unc. Duke over UT.
I am not confident in the TT or UT picks, but we'll see
I have them losing to Utah State just because I can't in good conscience pick them over anyone but a 16 seed.
I mean anything could happen but, so long as we don't suffer any injuries we're gonna win this thing. At full strength we're the best team and, it isn't particularly close.
