Sweet 16 Picks

The first two rounds of the tournament is over and my bracket is basically ruined so I might as well redue my sweet 16 picks. The four number one seeds are still around so those are the obvious picks but, if history shows us anything not all of those number ones will make it to the final four. Well here are my tournament picks from the sweet 16 on.

North Carolina over Washington State- North Carolina looked great in their first two games and just have too many weapons for WSU.

Louisville over Tennessee- The Volunteers really struggled in their game against Butler and Louisville has the inside presence to dominate the Tennessee big men.

Kansas over Villanova- Villanova's hot streak comes to an end as they match up against the far superior Jayhawks.

Wisconsin over Davidson- Davidson star Stephon Curry is shut down by defensive stopper Michael Flowers and Davidson's run ends.

Memphis over Michigan State- State doesn't have the defense to stop Memphis's dribble drive offense.

Texas over Stanford- The versatility of the Texas big men will give the Lopez brothers some trouble.

UCLA over West Kentucky- UCLA has had a great season and West Kentucky has had some lucky draws and that luck will run out.

West Virginia over Xavier- WVU is playing great right now and Xavier has had a couple very tough games.

Elite 8
North Carolina over Louisville- Should be a great game to watch which Tyler Hansbrough being the difference in the end.

Kansas over Wisconsin- Kansas is just too athletic for Wisconsin.

Texas over Memphis- Poor free throw shooting finally hurts Memphis in a close game.

UCLA over West Virginia- Theres no one to stop Love who should have a huge game.

Final Four
North Carolina over Kansas- Kansas has never been able to win the big game.

UCLA over Texas- Love keeps UCLA rolling.

CHAMPIONSHIP
North Carolina over UCLA

UCLA has been getting the breaks all year and I don't think they'll be able to get them in this game.
