I haven’t followed much college basketball this year. I know that my Saint John’s Red Storm stunk and are watching the tournament at home. Pitt won the Big East tournament last week. And, of course, every college analyst is decrying the NCAA Selection Committee’s lack of good judgment is selecting certain bubble teams rather than others.
So with all my college basketball knowledge, I filled out a bracket.
My Final Four:
East: Louisville
Midwest: Kansas
South: Pitt
West: UCLA
In the Final Four, I have Pitt over UCLA and Kansas over Louisville. In the end, I give the nod to Pitt.
My reason? They have a lot of New York City basketball talent on that team. Good talent. They go after NYC players the way my Saint John’s Red Storm did when they were the Redmen.

Hmm. Interesting. I have Pitt going out in the first round to ORU. Had to expend to much energy to win the Big East tournament and ORU is an experienced team. Well, one of us will be wrong!
My sleeper . . . Purdue. (Now watch *them* get knocked out in the first round!)

Ah, don’t count on me being right about Pitt. I was guessing all the way through.
I used to always pick the teams that Saint John’s lost to in the tournament (and it is a long list).
On purdue, I have them winning in Round 1 and losing to Xavier in Round 2. Don’t ask me why.
