Useless NCAA Predictions

Not that i have any credibility left after the devastation my bracket suffered this last weekend. But i will offer you some predictions for the rest of the tournament.

Two Pac-10 teams are in the Sweet Sixteen. Arizona and Washington. Kiss 'em goodbye. No way Washington is going to beat Louisville, who polled at number four pre-tournament. And it's never a good idea to bet on Arizona. They almost always disappoint. The Wildcats may make it past OK State, but they won't beat Illinois, who are the closest thing to an NBA team in the tournament this year.

Arch rivals North Carolina and Duke have played each other 219 times, but never in the NCAA Tournament. Isn't that an incredible stat? i want to see it happen this year, and therefore i am predicting it to happen.

And Bobby Knight must not win. Must... not... win.

Okay so this post is more about wishful thinking than actual predictions based on evidence. Or actual basketball knowledge.

Plus i like Duke's uniform, so they will win the championship.

3 What? Not a Bobby Knight fan? I've loved him for years. Here's my haiku for him Rage now, Red Raider Prolong winter's game to spring Glory overcomes bile.

7 I was writing in a hurry, Annie. I tried to pretend "overcomes" was two syllables. Can I make a late substitution of "conquers" for "overcomes"?

8 how about o'ercomes? it's more Shakespearean.

9 Oooh, Annika, that's good. I may even put it up on my site, with joint credit.
