Well, my bracket is completely ****ed. My tip is Uconn from now on in, which pretty much means that they won't win. Kentucky would of had it all wrapped up if Enes Kanter was allowed to play.

My Final Four Prediction: Ohio State, SDSU, Notre Dame and BYU.

Translation: Epic Fail!

(I think that was the first time in years I didn't land one team)

My final 4 = Arizona, Louisville, UNC, Pittsburgh.

At least I got to ride Zona while they lasted. I always wanted to play for them - I even managed to contact coach Olson and sent him my highlight reel. He actually sent me a reply. Said I was too short and not athletic enough to play D-I ball even as a walk-on, but I could probably get a D-II scholarship if I improved my shooting.

I like to think the last thing he ever did as head coach of the Wildcats was reply to me.

Don't feel bad Coco, according to ESPN, 20% of their bracket entries had 1 Final Four team and only 2.1% had two Final Four teams. Only 1 person has predicted all 4 Final Four teams, he has VCU beating Kentucky.

Yeah, coach Olson actually said that if I grow to 6ft by the end of the year to get back in touch.

I actually learnt to make my lack of height work for me. I was always quicker than everyone I played against and had mad handling skills, plus I've always had real good point guard instincts.

Agreed, but BKnight >>> both.

But Kemba will be successful in the pros. I can't see Jimmer being anything more than a bench guy (Sorry Coco).

I hope the Cavs draft Knight if they don't land Kyrie. Knight has flown under the radar for most of the year and is a very good prospect in the pros. Jimmer not so much, just keep on chuckin baby!

I think Knight will be an All-Star in the future, and Kemba at worst a good sixth man. Jimmer would be a good 6th man at best, but I just don't think he's got the quickness or athleticism to create his own shot in the NBA. Ideally, he'd wind up on a team that plays the triangle offense and he can play a Steve Kerr/Derek Fisher role.

What a fizzer of a National Championship game! Good to see I could tip something right with choosing UConn to win after the Elite 8 was set. Overall, a down year in NCAA Men's Basketball.
