ESPN is dead to me. I was watching their "new predictions" last night on sportscenter. They said Kansas would win the Midwest region. Fine, I can accept that, in fact I agree they will still probably win the region, but to say they will win because (I quote) "they are the best defensive team remaining in the tournament" is downright horrible analysis. Just completely wrong. I would say there are at least 4 teams that are better defensively than Kansas (Wisconsin, Wash St., Stanford, and UCLA. I may even throw Louisville ahead of Kansas defensively). Anyways, that's my little rant. Here are my picks. NC over Wash St. Louisville over Tenn Kansas over Nova Wisky over Curry (and Richards) Michigan St. over Memphis Stanford over Texas UCLA over W. Kentucky WV over Xavier NC over Louisville Kansas over Wisky Stanford over MSU WV over UCLA Kasas over NC Stanford over WV Kansas over Stanford
