Early Final Four Projection

[frostno98]

Will change it once the official bracket comes out but I can't resist until Sunday, so here's my final four projection.

Pittsburgh
The most exciting team to watch, can defend, create owns shots and do whatever the elite teams have done in March.

Wake Forest
These guys are young, quick and athletic @ss hell. That Duke game was an aberration, winning in Cameron is hard for any team not named UNC.

UCLA
They will probably be going against much weaker teams in the west bracket. They have the experience and their new recruits like Jrue Holiday is starting to play better.

Oklahoma
One dominating player in Blake Griffin and a good supporting is why they're going to be tough to beat.

there is absolutely no way that wake, ucla or oklahoma make the final four

oklahoma is playing it's worst ball of the year right now, wake is way too young and ucla is clearly in a down year...

Yeah, but what do you have for the final four Wake might be the biggest surprised. I see them being a 3 or 4.

[Fiasco]

won't make my predictions until the brackets come out but I have unc and pitt there most likely...

other then that I can't really make the predictions.

I will say gonzaga is starting to play better (for a longshot) as is florida st...

UCLA could very easily be sent East. I don't think they have much of a chance to make the sweet 16 if they are not in the West region.

wake forest could be a sleeper, they are ****ing good. too young probably, but you never know

ucla would shock me, i think UW is better than them. ucla is having a down yr and living off their rep

[The_Kid]

No way UCLA is making it that far if they're not seeded in the West region. They've been lucky the past couple years to be playing so close to home and they don't have to deal with travel, fatigue, etc. I'd like to say Gonzaga has a shot.

Pitt, UNC, and Wake are inked in over here. Unless, they are in the same bracket.

[Willie Bee]

Hope you're right, frost. I've been on Pitt and Oklahoma since last October. Sooners are in a slide, so will be interesting to see where they land probably a 2-3 seed depending on their showing in Big 12. Got to like Pitt however.

[pavyracer]

How do you no that these 4 teams will be in a different bracket?

[Willie Bee]

Believe the 'early' part of the thread title and the first statement in the post say it all. Just his pre-bracket picks.

Will change it once the official bracket comes out but I can't resist until Sunday, so here's my final four projection.

Early projections without brackets, based on teams I have bet on and watched closely. Final Four teams most likely to win 4 games in march madness. Louisville, LSU, Mizzu, and Pittsburgh. UConn just cannot handle Pitt, so no need to place them in championship game unless they are opposite Pitt. UNC does not play enough defense, they make Duke look good. Marquette is done. OU is one elbow from hopeless. Kansas is young. UCLA too small. Wake can't inbound the ball under any slight pressure. Wild Cards are Clemson, Auburn, Arizona State, and Memphis.

wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong.
