Sweet 16 & Elite 8 Thoughts/Final 4 Predictions

This has been the craziest tournament I have ever witnessed by a mile. The Sweet 16 and Elite 8 were no exception.

Needless to say, I'm disappointed that my hometown Huskies lost, but they had a good run and they have been the best representative of Seattle sports the past couple years. I was 4 for 8 out of my Sweet 16 picks and 3 for 4 in my Elite 8 picks. Not too bad if you ask me, but all the games were close, which made it more exciting.

My Final 4 picks:

1. Duke vs. 2. West Virginia

I picked WVU to go to the National Championship Game and they haven't failed me yet, but Duke poses a big challenge for them. Both coaches are well experienced and both have talented teams. I still have WVU winning, but don't be surprised if I'm wrong, I wouldn't be.

5. Michigan State vs. 5. Butler

Two teams I didn't pick to go very far, but I'm impressed regardless. MSU lived up to their #2 preseason ranking by going to the Final 4 and Butler proved that their 23 game winning streak (Now 24) wasn't a fluke. I honestly don't know who I'll pick to win this game, but I'll try. Eeney, meeny, miney, moe. Michigan State. :)

I'll be back in a week to write my Championship game prediction. Until then, Enjoy the games!
