EDITED AT 11:24:53
It's funny, I got the same score of 2 out of 4 for Friday's games, but I don't feel nearly as bad about that one. The reason is why I missed the two games in question. I knew there was going to be an upset tonight, I just didn't know who. I was waffling between Illinois and Xavier pulling off an upset and decided to go with Illinois. If I had gone with Xavier, I would have been 4 of 4. Oh well. Now for Sunday's games:

In the Atlanta Regional, Xavier is playing an awesome game, but from what I saw tonight, Duke is still the team to beat. It will be close and there is a definite possibility of an upset, but I'm going to go with Duke on this one.

In the St Louis Regional, Kansas looked mighty impressive in their slaughter of UAB. Georgia Tech survived Nevada. Despite that, I think GT can take Kansas. They are more athletic and have guards who can handle Kansas.

So ... there you have it. My Final Four consists of GT, Ok State, Duke, and UConn.

EDITED AT 3:29:58
There's a reason I'm not paid to give analysis. I have to admit, getting only 50% of last nights games is a bit troubling. *sigh*

Oh well, time to absolutely bore you, my dear reader once again by giving my Saturday predictions:

In the East Rutherford Regional, the cinderella team St Joe's takes on the favorite Oklahoma State. I have not liked St Joe's for most of the year and have been wrong about them everytime. Well, I'm still gonna pick against them. Oklahoma State will earn a sixth final four berth in Eddie Sutton's career.

In the Phoenix Regional, UConn is still the team to beat. Alabama has played some incredible basketball, but it can't last forever. And with two the best players in the country (Okafor and Gordon) playing against the Tide, I just don't see an upset here.

On an unrelated note, I will have pictures of the progress of the basement up this weekend. Take it is an informative picture or try to interpret it like a peice of modern art, whatever's your fancy.
