So, here it is...
Now, before I lose all credibility....Yes, I am a University of Cincinnati alum and season ticket holder. That being said, I am just as shocked as you are that the Bearcats are in my Final Four. There's no way I would have picked them to go that far on my own but, as I said in the previous post, I'm going 100% with the results of my model and these are the results of my model.
Overall, I don't hate it. Crazier things have happened.
What stands out…
- As of this post my first round picks match the Vegas money lines with the exception of two games (Xavier +120, Northwestern +115)
- Only 4 first round upsets
- 6 second round upsets
- 4 third round upsets
- No true Cinderella
- Only one #1 seed in the Final Four (Villanova)
- Three #1 seeds in the Elite Eight (sorry, UNC)
- #2 seeds had it rough with just one team (Duke) advancing to the Sweet Sixteen
- Saint Mary’s beats Gonzaga in the Elite Eight after losing to them three times already this season
- Michigan stays hot
- The #1 overall seed in the tournament wins the championship
- Gonzaga continues to be a post-season pretender
- SMU and Cincinnati in the Elite Eight would be big for the AAC
Now it's time to watch some basketball and hope my Bearcats prove me right.
