March Madness

My bracket is wrong, but now that we are halfway through the 2006 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament I have a few predictions of who will be advancing and who will not. Florida, almost losing in an upset to Purdue, will make it to the Final Four trying to repeat last year's title run. I don't think they will get an opportunity to do so. Either Kansas (which my money is on) or UCLA will knock them off. Back to back titles are rare in the tournament. So it will be Kansas or UCLA in the title game, but I figure Kansas has the best shot at beating UCLA and then Florida.

On the other end I have Georgetown and Ohio State meeting in the Final Four. Oden versus Hibbert! Should be great. Although Oden is a better player, Georgetown is a more rounded team, so I pick them knocking off the number one seed and meeting, probably, Kansas in the title game. Once again I feel Georgetown is more rounded and has better depth which will carry it to its first national title since 1984. A team led by Patrick Ewing Sr., the father of current Hoya Patrick Ewing Jr. How fitting would it be if both father and son got the title?
