Let the Madness Begin, Pitt is It

3/18/09



In under three weeks, all the dramatics will be over and we will have ourselves a national champion. Right now, we have 64 teams left and the dance is ready to begin. Maybe it is being a fan of a #1 seed that could lose anywhere starting in round two, but I see this tournament as wide open. UNC and PItt are the best teams in the tournament on paper, but they both have some questions as well....Below I am going to lay out my predicted Sweet Sixteen match ups and who I think will get to Detroit from there and eventually be crowned champion...
