Well, we’ve reached the end of the line here on our picks. I’m pretty sure I gained ground on Bo yesterday, so at least I have a heartbeat going into the weekend. And by the way, fuck you, Weber State. Thanks for choking away points from me.

ACC

1st Round: UVA over BC, Wake over Miami, Georgia Tech over UNC, Clemson over NC State

2nd Round: Duke over UVA, Wake over Va. Tech, Georgia Tech over Maryland, Clemson over FSU

Semifinals: Duke over Wake, Clemson over Georgia Tech

Finals: Duke over Clemson

Thoughts: Going with my head over my heart here. Duke has won this tournament 8 of the past 11 years, and that includes a couple years (including both UNC championship seasons) when they had no business winning. For some reason, they just own this tournament. And this year they actually have the best team, so unfortunately, I think they’ll get the title and a 1 seed.

SEC

1st Round: South Carolina over Alabama, Tennessee over LSU, Florida over Auburn, Arkansas over Georgia

2nd Round: Kentucky over South Carolina, Tennessee over Ole Miss, Florida over Mississippi State, Vandy over Arkansas

Semifinals: Tennessee over Kentucky, Vandy over Florida

Finals: Vandy over Tennessee

Thoughts: Kentucky just doesn’t seem like the type of team that is going to give a shit about this tournament. It means almost nothing to them, so I think they get knocked off.

Big 10

1st Round: Michigan over Iowa, Indiana over Northwestern, Minnesota over Penn State

2nd Round: Ohio State over Michigan, Wisconsin over Illinois, Purdue over Indiana, Michigan State over Minnesota

Semifinals: Wisconsin over Ohio State, Michigan State over Purdue

Finals: Michigan State over Wisconsin

Thoughts: We’re getting to that time of year when you should never pick against Tom Izzo.

WAC

1st Round: Utah State over Boise State, La. Tech over Fresno State, Nevada over Idaho, NMSU over SJSU

2nd Round: Utah State over La. Tech, NMSU over Nevada

Finals: Utah State over NMSU

Thoughts: Very chalky

MWC

2nd Round (we missed a 1 game 1st Round): New Mexico over Air Force, San Diego State over Colorado State, BYU over TCU, UNLV over Utah

Semifinals: San Diego State over New Mexico, BYU over UNLV

Finals: BYU over San Diego State

Thoughts: Alright, that’s it. Let’s hope for a late rally so the people’s champ can keep his belt.
