All four #1 seeds left. Two great matchups on Saturday. Thoughts? Predictions? Comments?

My brackets all have UNC vs Memphis. Soooo... that's who I'm rooting for. If UNC defeats Memphis for the title, I should win every pool I'm in and a cool $600 or so.

Anyhow, with that said... I honestly think UNC has the best chance to win it all. I'm not sure Memphis will take down UCLA, but Memphis has been playing awesome lately. I can't wait for the games.

I'm still goin with UCLA winning it all.

I am really suprised that Memphis is favored by 2 over CLA.

And UNC is only favored by 3 over Kansas, who I feel is clearly the 4th best team left.

But what do I know, that probably means KU will beat Memphis in the final!

I need UNC to beat UCLA....than I win!!!!

WOO HOO!!!

I have UCLA over UNC in my bracket. So far UNC has been the best team. I'm routing for Memphis though. That has been a top flight basketball program for quite some time without winning big.

I've noticed that NOBODY is talking about Kansas. You have UCLA and UNC as the faves that everyone has in their brackets and Memphis as the semi-underdog. Also Kansas lacks a big name NBA talent to spur on that talk. A team made up of early second round picks does win college basketball games but doesn't make them media darlings. If this was the NFL I'd be taking bets on Kansas just based on the "nobody believes in us" status. I'll be interested to see if that same logic applies in college basketball.

Good points Pants... especially about the betting. Personally, I think Kansas has the least likely chance of winning it all. I could be wrong.

Hell and yes... way to go Memphis!!!!!

I'm 5 for 5 so far in terms of picking the Final Four and Championship teams...

Ahhhhhhhhhh who would have thought it? Oh well, if KU beats Memphis I will still win one of my big three pools. Funny thing is also if KU wins it all, I would get first and the wife would get second... even though she picked Memphis to win it all!
