Any Bracket Busters This Year? Anyone?


Now that she's got your attention...

DirecTV Mega March Madness? Check.
Excuse ready when you call in sick Thursday morning? Check.
All brackets filled out for the 27 pools you're in? Check.
Fridge stocked with beer? Check.
Wife/girlfriend/kids out of the house? Check.

It's time for the greatest sports weekend of the year and WRAS couldn't be more ready to defend it's bracket championship from last year. And if you're counting, and I am, that makes 4 bracket wins in my career including 3 in the last 4 years.

How do I do it? I can't tell you the secret but I will give you my Final 4 for this year...

UCLA, Texas, Kansas and North Carolina with UCLA beating KU to cut down the nets.

There will be some sleepers but I don't think there will be as many as in past years. This is a very top heavy tournament but you can watch out for Butler, Davidson and potentially Drake to make some noise. Though don't be surprised if any of those 3 are one and done.

WRAS didn't pick UCLA because of our favorite cheerleader above, but it sure didn't hurt.

Here are the rest of the picks...

Round of 32 -UNC, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Wazzu, St. Joe's, Louisville, Butler, Tennessee, Kansas, UNLV, Clemson, Vandy, USC, Wisconsin, Davidson, GTown, Memphis, Miss St., Michigan St., Pitt, Marquette, Stanford, St. Mary's, Texas, UCLA, BYU, Drake, UConn, Purdue, Xavier, W. Virginia, Duke

Sweet 16 - UNC, Notre Dame, Louisville, Tennessee, Kansas, Clemson, Wisconsin, GTown, Memphis, Pitt, Stanford, Texas, UCLA, UConn, Purdue, Duke

Elite 8 - UNC, Tennessee, Kansas, GTown, Memphis, Texas, UCLA, Duke

Feel free to comment and let us know who you think will be in the Final 4 and how it will shake out.

UNC, Texas, Xavier, Georgetown. UNC beats Texas. Texas beat UCLA, the other UT, and Kansas. They know what they're doing against good teams. UCLA struggled late in the season and got some pretty lucky calls to finish the way they did. Georgetown is the strongest team in a strong conference, but they won't get past a revenge-minded UNC team with Hansbrough.
