Well it was bound to happen.   I finally had a bad day yesterday as I went 0-4.   I guess you can’t win them all right?   But the most remarkable part is that I’m still 16-12 for the tourney despite last night’s debacle which kind of proves just how awesome I was doing to begin with. In fact I wouldn’t put it past God to make me lose just so he could show my greatness to all the doubters and haters.  And now that we got that out of the way I’m sure I’ll go back to dominating just like before.

Missouri vs. UConn – 5.5

I know I should be sold on UConn but I’m not.  Don’t get me wrong I think they’re very good but not unbeatable by any stretch of the imagination.  Maybe I’m still scared by betting on them twice against Pittsburgh only to see them get manhandled.    Meanwhile Missouri smoked my National Champion pick so I have to give them the respect they deserve.   The pick is Missouri in a game that will be about 1,000 – 999.

The Pick – Missouri

Villanova vs. Pitt -2

Villanova has looked unreal this tournament.  Pitt has struggled in every game.  Having said that I like Pitt.    This is just what they do.  They grind it out and find a way to win at the end.  Also unlike Duke who was the perfect matchup for Nova, Pitt is the worst possible matchup for the Wildcats.  They’re big, physical and can turn it into a grind out half court game if they want.   That’s exactly what they’ll do here.   At some point you just are what you are and Pitt was better than Nova all season.  Granted Nova beat them already this year, but I don’t see it happening twice.

The Pick - Pitt
