CHAMPIONSHIP

2009 NCAA Champions: North Carolina Tar Heels
I picked them in preseason, and I am sticking with them. Ty Lawson will be healthy and North Carolina will be cutting down the nets. I have 6 Big East teams in the Elite 8. This just goes to show how good this conference is this season. Cinderellas this season include a few regulars in Western Kentucky and VCU. ! Mississippi State, the SEC Champions, are also poised for an upset or two. My top 4 teams are in the Final 4, this normally does not happen, but this year the bracket is set up for this to be made possible. NC and Pitt are my two best teams in the country, but being on the same side of the bracket will have to clash in a Final 4 matchup. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Madness!
