Final 4 2010 – The final four in this year’s tournament is almost upon us. This has been an exciting tournament and I’m definitely looking forward to this one.

We’re in for an exciting slate of games before the final 4 2010 even begins. I’m looking forward to seeing Northern Iowa, Kentucky, Syracuse, Washington and St. Mary’s. But many of those must fall to get down to the final four.

So here’s who’s still going to be standing come Saturday April 3, 2010.

South –> Baylor
East –> Kentucky
Midwest –> Ohio State
West –> Syracuse

Do you agree with me that this will be the final 4 2010 or do you have other ideas? Leave your comments.

Elite 8 2010 – Is almost upon us and is only days away. 2 days to be precise. I love the NCAA mens basketball tournament and it always seems to pass too soon.

I’ll get right to my picks for the elite 8 2010. Kentucky and Syracuse should be locks. I believe in Michigan State and Ohio State. I’m going to take upstart Xavier, Baylor, Purdue, Washington. That’s my elite 8 2010 so what’s yours? Leave it in the comments.

Autistic Kid With Perfect Bracket

The autistic kid with perfect bracket is an amazing story especially considering all the upsets in this year’s ncaa mens basketball tournament. I remember within the last 3 years there was 1 guy who predicted all 65 games correctly and won the million dollars.

But this year’s tournament has had the most upsets in recent memory. So many double digit seeds in this year’s Sweet 16 Basketball 2010 bracket.

But a 16 year old autistic boy from Chicago named Alex Hermann is unscathed so far with a perfect bracket. The odds of this in this year’s ncaa tournament are 1 in 13 million. In fact of all the brackets submitted to ESPN and cbs sports he’s the only 1 still fully intact. He’s a math savant and based his picks on the math in his head.

The next nearest competitor has 4 wrong picks already. Unfortunately, he picked Purdue to win it all so he’ll end up missing on that one. Had they not suffered the big injury to their star player then maybe.

Sweet 16 bracket

The Sweet 16 bracket is quite amazing this year and it is filled with a number of different upstarts as well as very highly ranked and accomplished teams who’ve played well throughout the year. What no one is arguing is that the biggest omission from the Sweet 16 bracket 2010 is the Kansas Jayhawks. Who’d have guessed before this tournament started that the perennial lightweights from Manhattan those Kansas State Wildcats would be playing still while the Jayhawks sit at home? Actually, I predicted an early round loss by the Jayhawks because that’s what they normally do. Though I didn’t have them losing before the sweet 16.

They are the first and currently only number 1 seed to have fallen so far from this year’s NCAA tournament 2010 bracket.

I fully suspect either Syracuse or Duke will fall this weekend though not necessarily from your Sweet 16 bracket. These guys will probably last into the elite eight and then one or both will fall. I do believe Syracuse has the chops to get to the final four and maybe even play Kentucky in the championship.

Sweet 16 basketball 2010 – The Sweet 16 for the NCAA basketball tournament in 2010 rapidly approaches and is coming up later today. There are many surprise teams that have won two games so far in this NCAA tournament. These include St. Mary’s the mid-major upstart. The Washington Huskies who are talented but underachieving all year long and are now peaking at exactly the right time.

I can’t remember the last time so many double digit seeds made it to the 2nd weekend of the mens basketball tournament.

Then there are the big-time number 1 seeds Kentucky Wildcats who are winning by 30 points a game and the Syracuse Orangemen who have been almost as equally dominant winning by about 20 points per game.

Then there is the upstart Xavier with their star guard Jordan Crawford, who dunked on Lebron James last summer, who are generating lots of headlines. And there is the steady and at many times spectacular Kansas State team that has the typical big 12 toughness and what it takes to get to the final four.

Then there’s Butler who has been in the ncaa tournament many times and is a fairly high seeded number five but draws a tough matchup against Syracuse. Then there’s Baylor as their highest seed in school history ever at number 3 who is now facing the underdog upstart St. Mary’s team although I believe Baylor will be victorious. My cousin will be glad because he’s a Baylor alum.

The perennial powerhouse Duke is a number 1 seed again and they should have a fairly decent cakewalk over a Purdue team that is without their star player who is injured. West Virginia is a powerful team at number 2 but they have suffered an injury a broken ankle to their guard and so they will probably fall to the talented and peaking Washington Huskies.

Tennessee has been a surprise because of all the player losses, suspensions, and players being kicked off the team midseason because of arrests. They limped into the tournament as a number six and have played well to get to the Sweet 16 but will probably fall against Ohio State.

Cornell has maybe been the biggest surprise because they have gone farther than any Ivy League team in about 20 years. But Kentucky is too much on a roll and I believe now that Kansas is out of the way, doing their semiannual early loss to a weaker team dance they do, that this is Calipari’s year to finally cut down the nets and win it all.

And finally we have the Michigan State Spartans who have surprisingly gotten to this point as a number five seed playing the number nine seed Northern Iowa giant killers who defeated Kansas on the last-second three-point shot that may be the defining shot of this ncaa tournament 2010.

Should be amazing Suite 16 basketball 2010 because this year’s field is one of the most exciting with an excellent mix of favorites and double-digit underdog seeds still alive in the second weekend of the NCAA men’s Sweet 16 basketball tournament 2010.
