Yep, most conference seasons are 1/2 way over.  So here's my question - what are your final four picks.  Here are mine:

Duke
Oklahoma State
Stanford
Conneticut

What say you?

I doubt it will be bracketed to work out this way, but I'd like:

Duke
Carolina
NC State
Wake

With Duke winning the championship.

Suffering for your beliefs is called faithfulness, making others suffer for your beliefs is called being a jerk.

His cross, like the ark in the wilderness, is the center around which his people are to encamp; so that they cannot separate into factions, or withdraw from each other, without retiring at the same time from the presence of the cross.

You go, Coach K!

My nephew showed me some pictures taken of you with his family there on campus a couple of years back.  A fine man you are for encouraging him in his career as a naval officer.  

Win the belts in March!

UConn
Louisville
Stanford
Duke

Connecticut wins it all.  The Notre Dame loss is a speed bump, but they have by far impressed me more than any team I have seen play this year.  They're a well-coached team with two Player-of-the-Year finalists and a freshman just now moving into the starting lineup who may be the best player on the team.

Of the rest, I like Stanford.

How about that Alabama Crimson Tide finishing strong. But Mississippi St. lies ahead. Can we beat them twice?

I predict that once I again, I will not be there to see the final four.  More's the pity.

Oh, I further predict that Texas won't get back there again this year.  

If only Ford had stayed one more year!!!

My predictions, they are a changing.  I hope you all don't mind.  Here's my predictions before I see the brackets and see who will have to play whom to get to the final four.  (I will probably post a new final four next week after I actually see the bracket).  

As of 3-7-2004, my final four:

Oklahoma State
St. Joseph's
North Carolina
Duke

I love my A&M Aggies, but unless you are talking about the final four of the worst teams in College Hoops, they won't make it.

My Final Four:

Duke
Mississippi State
Kentucky
UConn

A few thoughts...

I think Kentucky, though not the great team it has been in years past, is just too dangerous at tournament time.  I would not be surprised to Kentucky playing for a national championship.  Hey, I picked Syracuse as national champion last year when the brackets were announced, and my co-workers thought I was a nut!

I think St. Joseph's will falter when faced with real competition.  I would be surprised if they make the Sweet 16.

Teams to watch out for...

Several from Conference USA:  My Memphis Tigers can beat any given team on any given night if they bring their "game."  Cincinnati and Louisville are good, but they have been better.  Watch out for UAB; they came out of nowhere to have a great season, and their RPI has consistently been in the mid-20s to mid-30s.  I would not want to play them in the first or second rounds.  Same for DePaul.

Southeastern Conference:  Alabama could easily sail past the first couple of rounds and scare the heck out of some folks.  If Vanderbilt somehow manages to get in, I sure wouldn't want to play them.

ACC:  I like Georgia Tech a ton.  I was tempted to pick them for the Final Four.

My Cinderella team is East Tennessee State.  I saw them a couple of times this year, and they can be just absolutely dominating.  If they are a 10 seed or better, they could wind up in the Sweet 16.  And as North Carolina knows, Murray State is not fun to play in the first round.

Peace.

:announceit: Are there any volunteers from GCM to set up a bracket for us all to participate in at ESPN.COM ? If we win, by the way, we do get a pretty big prize.

Have any of you all been watching the mid major conference's championship games on ESPN and ESPN 2 this week?  Looks like there could be some upsets.  I'm really glad Homer Drew got the Crusaders back to the dance! :clap:
