I'm stuck between wondering if Kansas will be there or not. They've let me down so many times but the one time I don't pick them they win it all.

This is how I feel about Pitt, I've penciled them into the final four ever time they have had a 4 seed or better and always seem to let me down.

In related news, my final four:

UNC, Kansas, Duke, Pitt

Kansas, Duke, St John's, OHIO STATE.

(OSU the winner)

I wanted to be a homer, but I dont think Old Dominion, George Mason, Richmond or VCU are winning the whole thing!

Just made a major change. Putting #10 seed MSU in the Final 4.

I have Ohio State, Duke, Pitt, and Louisville.

Before the DJ Kennedy issue, I thought St. Johns was a lock for a deep run. I tempered those expectations, I hope they prove me wrong!

Ok, I created a second bracket, the pool I am in allows for it. My Second bracket has Syracuse, Duke, Louisville, and Gonzaga.

I was also debating Pitt. But decided to put them in as well.

My final four is Ohio State, Duke, Pittsburgh(runner-up), and Purdue.

Had Wisconsin taking Pitt's place at first, but decided to change at the last minute.

One side of your brackets just busted. Louisville downed in the first round to Morehead St. Ouch

I tried to talk some people out of Louisville. Final 4 was a real stretch with this bunch. You have to be careful about overestimating in-conference play- talk to the players, and they'll be the first to tell you how much familiarity in-conference can masquerade differences talent when playing conference foes. Louisville will be excellent next yr and will have more the talent level to successfully make a deep tourney run in 2012. Purdue, Notre Dame & UNC are the other high seeds that I think are bound to disappoint those who expect big things in this tourney (BYU as well, though no one seems to be buying into them anyhow without Davies).

What is particularly maddening about it; originally I had Richmond in the Sweet 16 beating Louisville on my first bracket. I noticed I didn't have any Big East teams in the Final 4, so I added Louisville and removed Kansas.

For complete-ness, I also added Pitt after I added Louisville. I let someone talk me out of Florida in the Final 4. I will never fill out a bracket again if Kansas and Florida make the Final 4.
