My 2nd chance bracket
Hey guys! First, I'd like to give you guys my 2nd chance bracket. If you're not familiar with the concept, you just make a new bracket after the Sweet 16 is announced because your first one is already trashed. Let's go region by region...
South
Kentucky beats Indiana
Baylor beats Xavier
Baylor beats Kentucky
I originally had Wichita State coming out of this region, but now I've got the Baylor Traffic Cones. Despite their ugly uniforms, their amazing 3-point shooting and the presence of Perry Jones in the low post should get them past Davis and company.
West
Michigan State beats Louisville
Florida beats Marquette
Michigan State beats Florida
Still sticking with my original pick here (and trying to avoid bias...). The Golden Eagles have been very inconsistent this year (example A: losing to LSU) but so have the Gators (season sweep by Tennessee) but the Gators are the hot team. Ultimately, I think my Spartans will out power Florida.
East Region
Syracuse beats Wisconsin
Ohio State beats Cincinnati
Ohio State beats Syracuse
I have a feeling that the winner of the OSU/Cincy game is headed to the Final 4. Ultimately, it'll be the Buckeyes who get there. As much as I despise Aaron Craft, he's a lot better than people think. Bo Ryan's Badgers should be easy meat for Syracuse, considering his March pedigree in years that don't end in 00. Sully and company will become the 2nd Big Ten team in the Final 4.
Midwest
North Carolina beats Ohio
North Carolina State beats Kansas
North Carolina beats North Carolina State
Don't rule out the Bobcats in their Sweet 16 game. Ohio U looked really nice against the Wolverines, but not so much versus South Florida. Kansas looked extremely beatable against Purdue, and the Wolfpack were clutch against G-town. I don't think an injury to the non-shooting hand should be that much of a hinderance for Kendall Marshall, so expect the Heels to beat their in-state rivals.
Final Four
Michigan State beats Baylor
North Carolina beats Ohio State
North Carolina beats Michigan State
The team that looked best over the first weekend should stay that way over the last weekend. The Spartans will push them in a re-match of the season opener, but UNC is too talented.
