MattCenter Madness

March Madness is upon us......

This is one of the few times of the year that you will find sports enthusiasts, wives, and even the people who have absolutely no idea what a basketball looks like joining together, hand in hand, cheering for their favorite teams, their Alma Mater, the coolest mascot, or even the team with the coolest colors. It's BRACKET TIME baby!!!! Now if for some reason I am wrong (which has never happened in the history of sports) I will also be updating throughout the tourney so stay tuned for my analysis.

Lets start with my picks for the final 4 and then the eventual National Champions.

Wisconsin will beat florida to get to the Final Four
Texas will beat Georgetown to get to the Final Four
Kansas will beat UCLA to get to the Final Four
Tennessee will beat Texas A&M to get to the Final Four

Now I know what you are thinking..... This guy is crazy, he's putting Tennessee in the Final Four? Well as noted in the original statement I AM one of those guys cheering for my Alma Mater!!!! Watch out for it because I am the first and possibly the only person to say this. Tennessee has the potential to pull a few huge upsets because of Chris Lofton and his ability to carry this team. Unfortunately I think the best player in the country, Kevin Durrant, will carry Texas past Tennessee to make the finals.

Now I also know that if you know me you are saying this guy is crazy he is putting Kansas in the Final Four. Well back to my original statement again... Kansas is my favorite Team (besides MY TENNESSEE VOLS) so I am cheering for them.

So my picks for the Finals are.... A rematch of the Big 12 Title Game...
Kansas VS. Texas
Kansas will prevail in the end winning 88-83
KANSAS WINS THE NATIONAL TITLE IN 2007
