NCAA Tournament

It's the Sweet 16... and my bracket is destroyed. Here's a look at the matchups and my predicted winners to move onto the Elite 8, Final 4, and National Championship.

EAST- Easily the toughest bracket still remaining. All four teams could make the Final 4.

4. Washington St. Cougars @ 1. North Carolina Tar Heels.
This matchups features 2 teams that in 4 total games have outscored their oponents by 121 points, an average of over 30 points/game. The Cougars have been very impressive in their wins, but Carolina has been pure dominant.
Winner: North Carolina

3. Louisville Cardinals @ 2. Tennessee Volunteers.
Tennessee is coming off an overtime victory, while Louisville is coming off an old school whoopin' of Oklahama. Louisville has looked very good as of late, but Tennessee's speed and shooting ability is what can move them onto the Round of 8.
Winner: Tennessee


2. Tennessee Volunteers @ 1. North Carolina Tar Heels
Winner: North Carolina



MIDWEST- A region of high seed surprises, and a guy named Stephen Curry.

12. Villanova Wildcats @ 1. Kansas Jayhawks
The 'Cats have been a suprise from the start, but have yet to beat a considerably good team. Clemson seemed flat and over-rated, and Siena was just not at Big East compition standards. The Jayhawks have a ton of talent and will be too much for Nova.
Winner: Kansas

10. Davidson Wildcats @ 3. Wisconsin Badgers
Two words... Stephen Curry. He is averaging 35 ppg for the Wildcats, who have been a giant surprise in this years Tourney. The Badgers though sport one of the premier defenses in the Nation. In the end, Curry hits the game winner to move on.
Winner Davidson


10. Davidson Wildcats @ 1. Kansas Jayhawks
Winner: Kansas



SOUTH- All of the top teams still remain... except Pitt.

5. Michigan St. Spartans @ 1. Memphis Tigers
This may be the most physical matchup of the tourney. Memphis has a great physical presence. State looks like they are on a mission after knocking off the hottest team in the nation, Pitt. It will be a close one... but...
Winner: Memphis

3. Stanford Cardinal @ 2. Texas Longhorns
Both teams squeaked out wins in the last round. Both teams are phsical and quick. Texas seems like a more rounded team and a little more ready for the run they are on. Plus, I have them in my Final 4. So...
Winner: Texas


2. Texas Longhorns @ 1. Memphis Tigers
Winner: Texas



WEST- Some surprises in this one. But a guy named Love holds it together.

12. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers @ 1. UCLA Bruins
The Toppers have had an amazing run to the Sweet 16, but they haven't faced anyone like the Bruins. With wins over the 5 Seed (undeserved) Drake, and the surprising San Diego, WKU isn't in the same league as UCLA, and K-Love.
Winner: UCLA

7. West Virginia Mountaineers @ 3. Xavier Musketeers
WVU pulled off some solid victories against Arizona, who didn't deserve to be in the tourney, and Duke, who doesn't deserve to be Duke anymore. Xavier beat the SEC Champs and a good Purdue team. Yet, i think that Joe Alwxander will be the difference.
Winner: West Virginia


7. West Virginia Mountaineers @ 1. UCLA Bruins
Winner: UCLA



FINAL 4

1. Kansas Jayhawks @ 1. North Carolina Tar Heels
Winner: North Carolina

2. Texas Longhorns @ 1. UCLA Bruins
Winner: UCLA



CHAMPIONSHIP

1. UCLA Bruins @ 1. North Carolina Tar Heels
Winner: North Carolina

MVP: Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina
