Bracket Breakdown: Atlanta Regional
This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it [object Object] . Ah, the Atlanta regional. J.J. Redick's shocker. Daniel Gibson's optical illusion penis. A bunch of Ivy League dorks. The memories, we tell you. We're hoping Cal plays Duke in the regional final, so we can see the Cal fans play a prank on Redick.
Anyway, here's a rundown of "expert" predictions on who will escape the regional, with our own, entirely uneducated prediction wrapping it up.
• Jay Bilas: Duke. • Daily Quickie: Duke. • Dick Vitale: Duke. (really!) • Andy Katz: Duke. • Lenn Robbins, New York Post: Iowa. • Seth Davis: Duke. • Stuart Mandel: LSU. • The Amazingly Reappearing Joe Lunardi: Texas. • yoco: college basketball: Duke. • Deadspin: Duke. Sorry.
We, as always, eagerly await your predictions in the comments.
