College Basketball Prediction Time

[BlueDevilBrowns]

NATIONAL CHAMPS: Duke

FINAL FOUR: Arizona(a lock to be the #1 seed out West, with an easy(ier) path to the FF).
MSU(Izzo averages 1 FF appearance around every 3 years so it's time).
Syracuse(1 FF team from the previous year almost always returns the next).

ELITE EIGHT: Kansas Louisville Ohio State Gonzaga

DARKHORSE: Florida(I mean StatNerds have to be correct eventually, right?).

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Aaron Craft

BOLD PREDICTION: Ol' Roy will "seriously consider" retirement after a mediocre year but through the "love and support" of the UNC community, will graciously decide to return. However, Hubert Davis will be named his Successor.

My picks still look reasonable with the exception of Craft as POY(what was I thinking???).

Florida isn't a darkhorse any longer.

I guess my Bold Prediction could still come true if the Heels fail to win much in the ACCT and NCAAT(fingers crossed!).

Mercer will be taking the A-Sun bid this year. But I would be delighted if they had the opportunity to knock out UNC in the first round.

Well this is a little awkward.

Well this is a little awkward.

This whole thread is a landmine of creepy jinxes. Some of those bold predictions man...

For example:

BOLD PREDICTION: It will get ugly between ol' Roy and Jim Boeheim. There will be no love lost, and Syracuse will quickly learn to hate the Heels.
