Tourney Time - Who do you like to win it all?

I am a big Bruin fan so going with UCLA to win it all. I hope we get UCLA v. UNC in the final as that would be a lot of fun in my opinion. The reasons I think UCLA have a very good chance to win:

1) Starting 5 has 3 guys who will be NBA players and 2 others who could be. Russell Westbrook, to me, looks like the next Michael Jordan. Laugh now but remember where you heard that first!
2) Coach and team with final 4 experience.
3) Good balance between guards and forwards.
4) Decent bench. Guard play off bench is a weakness for sure though.
5) Tradition second to NONE.

Who do you like?

Anybody in a good pool?

    since the beginning of the season, have kansas, ucla, unc and memphis as my top tier teams. Second tier would be Louisville, Tenn and Texas. After that, i feel there is a big dropoff to the third tier: Duke, Georgetown, Xavier, UConn, Stanford, WSU and Indiana. Would love to see a Kansas and UCLA rematch in the championship game. And UNC and UCLA would be great to watch because of the individual matchups: Love vs Hansborough, Collison vs. Lawson, Ellington vs Westbrook.

    i set up a money pool with friends on yahoo every year. if you're interested in joining let me know and i can send you an invite.

    Akbar-
    Don't I wish! They can't even make the D-II playoffs so might be a while for Sonoma State to make the big dance. They will have to start winning at the D-II level, then move to D-1, and then somehow in their conference there. Maybe in my lifetime....

    I'm pulling for UCLA. I just hope that their outside shooting does not disappear. That is their weakness. I agree with you that Westbrook has emerged this year. He has posterized several folks this year.

    I see either UNC or UCLA not making the final four, a hunch only, not an informed opinion. image

    I always like Kansas too, but they always find a way to lose. What a disappointing team Kansas is
    when the final 16 begins.
