My Final Four

Posted on March 27, 2010 by Matt Todd

I’m a little late in posting this. It’s been a busy two weeks (including a funeral for a good friend, a quick trip to Brown County, and a conference in Chicago). I hope you understand.

But…

that doesn’t mean I didn’t have the time to fill out a bracket for this year’s tournament. And although I haven’t been able to park myself in front of the TV to watch the first two rounds, I’ve been able to keep tabs on the majority of games through other forms of media. Radio has definitely been my friend this year!

So – here’s my bracket in a nutshell:

Upsets I got right:
Cornell over Temple
Murray St. over Vanderbilt
Butler over Syracuse (Sweet 16)

Upsets I had but got wrong:
Richmond over Villanova (round 2) – shoulda gone with St. Mary’s
Texas A & M over Duke (I knew Purdue would win Round 1. Didn’t think they could pull off another win. I was almost right.)

And, like almost everyone else in the country, I had Kansas beating Northern Iowa. I really messed up that whole region.

Final Four
Kansas
Butler
Kentucky
Baylor

Championship Game:
Kansas over Kentucky.

Yeah. I got that one wrong (obviously). On the bright side, three of my Final Four made the Elite Eight. We’ll see how they do today and tomorrow.

Who did you pick for the Final Four? It’s OK if you got them wrong already. No one will laugh at you (I promise). After all, my national champion went out in the second round. Who am I to laugh at anyone?
