Bumpy Road to the Finals

Well, like everybody else my bracket was busted by plenty of upsets. The newspaper today said that only 2 people out of 3.2 million players in the ESPN bracket contest picked the Sweet 16 teams correctly. So, I don't feel so bad.

Here's my predictions of how the rest of March Madness will play out:

SWEET 16
EAST
UNC easily defeats Washington State
Louisville beats Tennessee in a close game
Kansas runs all over Villanova
Davidson with Curry upsets Wisconsin

WEST
Memphis is too strong for Michigan State
Texas in a close one over Stanford
UCLA runs up the score on Western Kentucky
Xavier slips past West Virginia

ELITE EIGHT
EAST
UNC wins a close one over Louisville
Kansas shows Davidson who is boss

WEST
Texas takes down Memphis
UCLA hammers Xavier

FINAL FOUR
Kansas sends UNC home (I wish UNC would win it all but it won't happen)
UCLA knocks out Texas

CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS
KANSAS defeats UCLA in a great match-up. This will be a great game!


Sports Illustrated predicts that the Sweet 16 winners will be:
EAST: UNC, Louisville, Kansas, Wisconsin
WEST: Memphis, Texas, UCLA, Xavier

Elite Eight
Then they think that Louisville will beat UNC and Kansas will beat Wisconsin
In the West they predict that Texas will stop Memphis and UCLA will beat Xavier

Final Four
SI says that Kansas will beat Louisville and UCLA defeats Texas

Championship
SI predicts the UCLA Bruins will beat the Kansas Jayhawks
