NCAA Pants Party: Final Four

All right, well, the games finally tip back off tomorrow, and it's about time: Without any major storyline — The Chalk Bracket just doesn't tend to inspire people — it's been a bit of a slog this week.

Here's what the kids are predicting on the series of tubes:

Kansas Vs. North Carolina
Jay Bilas: North Carolina.
Seth Davis: Kansas.
Stuart Mandel: North Carolina.
Storming The Floor: North Carolina.
Deadspin: Kansas. Call it a hunch. We're not ready to see Bill Self in a national championship game though.

Memphis vs. UCLA
Jay Bilas: Memphis.
Seth Davis: UCLA.
Stuart Mandel: UCLA.
Storming The Floor: UCLA.
Deadspin: Memphis. No one has looked better the last week. And we were wrong.

So, light 'em up, people.

Kansas/UCLA would win me a little cash. So, lets go with that.

I didn't know Kansas changed their uniforms to suit and tie. Classy.

@Matt_T:

I have that as my final in my pool with UCLA winning but I can't win my pool. Someone else has the same scenario and is a few points ahead of me. Still would be nice to know I nailed the final and the winner.

@UkraineNotWeak: That's what I have. This is a pretty small pool.

Sucks the game is rained out tonight

Kevin Love's X-making skills are weak. He should call up Dante Hall for some advice.

@Illegal Immigrant: Well according to those NCAA comercials, 99% of student athletes turn pro in something other than sports. They're just getting a head start.

/offer does not apply to Maurice Clarett unless you can go pro in "Gettin' your Goose on."

In an effort to make pointless small talk with my neighbors/co-workers in the past few days I have asked "ANy predictions for the Final FOur this weekend?"

Answers I have received "I don't follow basketball," "I don't even know who is playing," etc

I am sorry, I thought the tie you were wearing meant you owned male genitalia. Obviously, I was wrong.

I won't have to deal with them for 6 hours tomorrow - hell yes.

All Love is missing is some hammers in his mouth.

Y'know that woman in the office who wins the big pool by picking teams based on their uni colors? Every team left wears blue - find out what shade/accessory she prefers.

Coach Jay is negotiating a sit-com, while Coach K toils on commercials.

UNC - Memphis
Then, Memphis, please.
So that, for once, someone with even a smidgen of sports knowledge will win one of these f'in pools.
They'll all still be pissed they lost to a girl, but they can take solace in the fact that I'm a girl majoring in Sport Journalism.

I prefer the term 'Chalktoberfest'
