Here are our initial thoughts on the four conferences:
The South
-Kentucky is the safe pick to reach the Final Four. Their road is one of the easiest to get there.
-Don't sleep on Wichita St. They could easily be the VCU of this year's tournament.
-Duke isn't as talented as you think. Not Coach K's classic roster. Mostly freshman led and too reliant on streaky shooters like Rivers and Curry to go too deep in the Tourney
Our Pick: Kentucky


The West
-Mich St is a weak one seed. I would expect an upset in the early rounds that will send them packing
-Florida may also pose a challenge for Missouri. If Florida gets their three-point shot going they could knock off the two seed Missouri.
Our Pick: Marquette


The East
-Syracuse is a very strong team. They probably don't have the star power to win it all but they are a very safe pick to go deep
-Vandy, Cincy, and Florida St all have tremendous momentum going into the tourney and could bust some higher seed's bubbles
Our Pick: Syracuse


The Midwest
-North Carolina will be incredibly strong if John Henson recovers quickly from his sprained wrist. If not, they could be knocked off in the first few rounds
-Kansas is a very serious contender. They have Thomas Robinson leading them this year and look hungry for redemption
Our Pick: Kansas


Championship Game: Kansas v. Kentucky
Champion: Kansas
