Make Your NCAA Tourney Predictions
That's right, less than 24 hours until the NCAA tournament finally begins. So far this week we've asked for recommendations for unique bracket games (besides just picking the winners) and which below-the-radar players we may one day see in the NBA (LINK). Today we want your predictions, but in an organized fashion. Here's what we’re looking for: • Who's your pick to win it all? • Which underdog team will make the Final Four? • Which highly-rated team will get knocked out early? • Who will be the tournament MVP? • Give us one completely random prediction. Here's ours: • Georgetown – The Hoyas can slow down the pace, and Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert make up the best big-man combo in the tourney (well, besides Florida’s Al Horford and Joakim Noah, but we think Kansas will beat the Gators) • Memphis – Yes, the Tigers are a No. 2 seed (and not much of an underdog), but no one is picking them to do anything. Except us. • Texas A&M – Every team has an off-day. Unfortunately, the Aggies' will come in the tourney against Memphis. • Jeff Green – As he skyrockets past Julian Wright, Horford and Noah to the No. 3 pick in this year’s NBA draft. • Billy Packer announced his retirement during the final game – He’s 67. It’s been a good run. Time for some fresh blood. Who in the NCAA Tourney is NBA Bound?

Which under the radar players in the tournament have futures in pro ball ... and who should be hitting the books to get a jumpstart on their non-basketball careers? Tell us Your Bracket Games
Of course, nothing beats SI.com's $1 million bracket challenge, but if you want to get a little more creative, we suggest the last 2 left pool, where you're asked just to pick the two teams that will play in the championship game. Other alternative bracket games including picking which lowest seed will go the furthest in the tournament, which state will be best represented in the Sweet 16, picking the over-under on mid-majors upsetting major conference teams, and of course, the non-sports fan special (picking teams based solely on the uniforms, team names and feeling about the school). We're bored with the traditional pools. Give us your suggestions on how to spice it up?  |
