Everyone has their "expertise" when it comes to the NCAA Tournament.  Here are my picks.  Copy them at your own risk.

East Regional

Winner: UNC

Sleeper: Washington State

Early Exit: Oklahoma

When Wazzu forces teams to play their style of half-court ball, they can hang with most teams in the country.  It’s just too bad they get matched up with North Carolina in a potential Sweet 16 game.  Still, Tony Bennett’s boys can reach the Final Four if they knock off the Tar Heels.  Louisville will likely come out of the bottom of the bracket.  A lot of people seem to be sleeping on Tennessee.

Midwest Regional

Winner: Georgetown

Sleeper: Clemson

Early Exit: Vanderbilt

In my opinion, this is the toughest regional.  A great opening round game between USC and Kansas State featuring two of the best freshmen in the nation should be a fun one to watch.  Georgetown is so tough all-around, and they have proven they can win even when Roy Hibbert is ineffective.  Plus, this group has been there before making it to the Final Four last year. 

South Regional

Winner: Stanford

Sleeper: Oregon

Early Exit: Miami (FL)

Yes, I have the Cardinal beating my beloved Golden Eagles (more to come on that in a separate article.)  I love what the Lopez twins do inside, causing havoc for opposing teams in the paint.  Beating Texas in Houston will be a chore in the Elite Eight.  Watch out for the Ducks.  They nearly pulled off a Final Four run with the same core (minus Aaron Brooks), and could send Memphis home early.

West Regional

Winner: UCLA

Sleeper: West Virginia

Early Exit: Duke

I’m really intrigued by the West Virginia/Arizona first round match-up and think the winner of that one can and will knock off Duke.  Joe Alexander was deadly in the Big East Tournament and when the Mountaineers are hitting their outside shots, they are nearly unbeatable.  I would not be surprised to see them in the Elite Eight.  UCLA was my pre-season pick to win it all and I’m sticking with them to go to the Final Four.

National Championship Game

UCLA over Georgetown... I had this Final Four before even seeing Paul’s, I promise.  I think Georgetown has the size and toughness to knock off North Carolina, while UCLA beats Stanford for a fourth time this season.  Like I said, I picked the Bruins at the beginning of the season, and I’m sticking to my guns.
