The NCAA Tournament begins tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited. Although there have technically been NCAA Tournament games Tuesday and there will be two on Wedensday, the "First Four" are hardly NCAA Tournament games in my opinion.
Anyways, I wanted to share my thoughts on the tournament, remind you about my contest and the @broncofan99 contest which I have donated 200 SCR to, and give you a quick update about my contest.
If you are looking for more insight into this year's NCAA Tournament, I highly recommend visiting the sports blogs of @thesportsguru and @sportsguychris. They both have been following the season closely and have great takes on what they're seeing leading up to the start of the tournament.
NCAA Tournament Predictions
I believe we are in for a very crazy year in the NCAA Tournament, and I wouldn't be surprised if we had several Final Four teams ranked #4 or higher. I think this may be one of the hardest tournaments to predict as well, but I will give it my best shot.
I really want to give a Final Four berth to my Michigan State Spartans, but I don't think they will be able to get past Duke. I also believe that Gonzaga is not getting the respect they deserve as a legitimate title contender. Without further ado, here are my Final Four predictions:
- Duke (#1)
- Gonzaga (#1)
- Tennessee (#2)
- Auburn (#5)
I have Gonzaga winning the tournament with Tennessee finishing second. Whatever happens, it should be fun.

Contest Reminder
There is no entry fee and a nice pool of SCR up for grabs so please make sure to enter my competition. You will need to select a total of 8 underdog teams who you believe can upset some of the best teams in the bracket this year. It's a lot of fun and not too difficult to do. There's a little skill and a lot of luck involved.
