Who You Got?

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Matt Todd

Well, it’s that time again: the most wonderful time of the year!

The Todd household is furiously filling out our brackets for this year’s tournament. To his credit, Aiden is putting much more thought into this year’s picks.

Last year, I went bust thanks to the Jayhawks. Do you remember my Final Four? Here’s who I picked:

Final Four (2010)
Kansas
Butler
Kentucky
Baylor

Championship Game (2010)
Kansas over Kentucky

I only got one Final Four team right (but I was quite proud of that one Final Four team). And was nowhere close to right with the Championship Game. It seems that every year I pick them to do well, they go out early in the tournament and bust my whole bracket. And when I don’t pick them to do well, they win the whole thing. So here’s some advice for everyone: You might as well chant “Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk,” because I refuse to pin my hopes on them this year.

I’m still working on my bracket. Right now it looks like this (but I don’t like it):

Final Four (2011 – Provisional)
North Carolina
San Diego State
Notre Dame
Pitt

My biggest upset?
Princeton over Kentucky in the first round. You never know. Experience vs. streaky freshmen. We’ll see….

Where have I gone wrong? Who’s in your Final Four? Convince me why I should pick yours over mine (I might easily be swayed, by the way).

I’ll post the rest of my family’s picks (and my real picks) once they’re finalized. Man, I love this time of year!
