I'm not huge into basketball but I love watching and having a bracket in March. Since I can never root for my school (Penn State) I always end up cheering for UNC... not sure why I like them but I have for as long as I can remember. With that being said I'm calling my Final Four to be Marquette, Wisconsin, Xavier, and UNC. Hate all you want... I don't care I'm 2/3 since filling out my bracket with friends, you don't need skill to get lucky :)

That FSU/St. Bonaventure game is a trap-game to me. That could be ugly for FSU.

not seeing FSU as a Final 4 team...like their game, but I'm not sure they have what it takes to be elite

If we get too trigger-happy from beyond the arc and don't try to go inside we'll probably lay an egg. I know St. Bonaventure has a good inside game so it'll be tough to score on them, I think it will be close but our defense is top notch so we should be able to win.

I have FSU winning, and ending up in the Sweet 16 vs. Ohio St. Honestly, I picked OSU to win that game, but in this case, I hope I'm wrong. I like FSU, but I just don't think they have an answer for Sullinger in the paint.

Perhaps, we played them last year and the year before and they wrecked us. I don't know, I think we can limit Sullinger, Bernard James just has to be more aggressive on the boards, he let Zeller walk all over him yesterday.

They have 3 big guys who are all pretty solid defensively. I think they'll be able to slow Sullinger down. It really will come down to how well FSU's offense is playing. Defensively, they can stop anyone.

James is a beast when he wants to be.

You're right, Tyler, they've played extremely well defensively all season, I'm just struggling to think of a big man with the caliber of Sullinger that they've had to face this season (aside from Zeller I suppose). I hope you're right. I really want FSU to win.

I'll be rooting for FSU and Temple in the tourney, even against the games I picked them to lose.

Quite right, I think they have the motivation now. I don't want to be too optimistic but after beating Duke and UNC in the span of 24 hours I don't see why we can't make a deep tourney run. Like Tyler said it really just hangs on staying consistent on offense, but Luke Loucks and Michael Snaer were top notch the whole tournament and I find that the guys who play consistently well in the conference tournament usually have a good shot to make a deep run.

I'm pretty stoked to see how they do. I know you're quite more excited, lol.

My Final Four as of now is similar to others posted: Kentucky, Mizzo, FSU, and UNC. I'm tempted to put Baylor and/or Marquette in, but I don't really trust either team. My biggest upset is Belmont making it to the Sweet 16. I also have LBSU in the Sweet 16. Other than that, no big shockers on my bracket.

If FSU beats UNC again, this time in the Final Four, I will cry.

I don't see Mizzou going that far. I think I have them losing pretty early on (I believe Sweet 16).
