Ok so after losing two nail biters yesterday I’m on the threshold of doing the impossible.   That’s right.  Going 0-8 since the start of Sweet 16 round.   Now granted I’m still 16-14 in the tournament so if you took all of my picks from the beginning for a dime each you could still take the little lady to the Oak Room for a fancy steak dinner and have enough left over to buy a couple t-shirts so I’m not sure what all the bitching and moaning is about.  Sure, we had some tough breaks yesterday, but I say this with 100% confidence.   I’ve never lost 8 straight college hoop games in my life.    So get jacked and pumped because here comes to blowout winners from the Pres.  You can thank me tomorrow.

MSU vs. Louisville -5.5

I think Louisville wins this game.  I think Michigan State keeps it close.   Is this stupid?   I mean if I think Louisville is going to win should I assume they’ll hit enough free throws down the stretch to cover?    I don’t know what to think anymore.  Maybe this losing streak has gotten into my head after all.   Don’t think just throw…..I’m the one driving the astrovan…

The Pick – MSU

Oklahoma vs. NC -7

Finally a game that I love!    I’m going to put everything that I’ve lost on the last 6 games on Oklahoma here.   This is a flat out pickem for me.  Blake Griffin is too strong, too physical, and too mean for a pussy ACC team like North Carolina.    In fact, don’t be surprised if Griffin actually dunks Tyler Hansbrough during the course of this game just to prove a point and Hansbrough gets called for a foul.    Not only do I like OU to cover but I like them to win and join the rest of the Big East in the Final Four.     And hopefully after this tournament is over the NCAA will take a long and hard look at possibly stripping the ACC of their automatic bid to the conference tournament winner since clearly they don’t deserve it.

The Pick - OU
