More Thoughts...

• I'll be shocked if Ohio State doesn't win the championship this year.  Hell of a team.  In many ways, Sullinger is better than Greg Oden was for them.
• Villanova should have been better than they were this year, with Stokes and Fisher in the backcourt.  I think Jay Wright's star lost a little shine this season.
• If Cal can convince these kids to stay and delay the jump to the NBA, Kentucky will be an incredible team next year.  This year, I think they can at least give OSU an interesting game in the Sweet Sixteen.
• Buzz Williams has quickly solidified his standing as one of my favorite coaches in college basketball.  That dude is really fun to watch on the sideline.  He reminds me of a young, redneck Gary Williams.
• I've got a good feeling about Carolina this year.  Elite Eight, maybe throw a tough challenge at the Buckeyes.
• Duke with Kyrie Irving back.  Wow.  They'll breeze through the West regional, I think.  I don't see a real test for them among the seven remaining teams in that part of the bracket.  Maybe UConn, but I doubt it.
• Time for Tennessee to go ahead and shitcan Bruce Pearl.  If they don't, it's a total joke.
• Derrick Williams is a beast.  I really like Sean Miller, and I'm quickly growing fond of his program at 'Zona.  I think they can beat Texas.
• I'm pulling hard for SDSU in this bracket.  I love to see new teams break through into elite status.  Kawhi Leonard is legit.
• Kansas looks good, but I'm still skeptical.  I think they'll lose in the Elite Eight (they cakewalk to that point, though).
• When will UNLV break through?  Lon Kruger gets them to an 8/9 game every year... and they always seem to lose.
• Richmond/Morehead will be a fun game to watch.  Really proud of these Virginia teams so far.
• Like I mentioned before, I loved this Louisville team, and thought they were Elite Eight contenders.  Shows how much I know.
• Is the clock ticking for JT3 at Georgetown?  Probably no, but back-to-back tourney flops has to hurt.
• VCU is deadly when the 3s are falling.  They remind me of Western Kentucky from two years ago.  They can beat Purdue.
• Notre Dame really should not sleep on Florida State.  It's a bad matchup for them.
• In fact, I'm kinda feeling the Seminoles right now.  If they can spring this upset over ND, I could see them darkhorsing into the Final Four.  Yeah, I said it.
• ODU deserved better than a lame 8/9 game against Butler.  If Tony Bennett doesn't work out or leaves UVA for another opportunity, I think we should make a run at Blaine Taylor.
• Jacob Pullen is playing some ball now.  I will call my shot: K-State over Pitt in the Sweet Sixteen.
• It's really becoming irritating for me to see, year after year, how much the committee loves Gonzaga.  11-seed, deserved.  But a first round matchup against sitting duck St. John's, with BYU waiting in the second round?  Cake.  Walk.
• Florida's coming out of the Southeast.  Mark my words.
• Gun to my head, my Final Four picks: Ohio State, Duke, Purdue, Florida.
• No gun to my head, and trying to be different and interesting, my Final Four picks: Kentucky, Arizona, Florida State, Kansas State (these can also be called my "dodge chalk darkhorse" picks, I guess).
• I love the NCAA Tournament.  Like whoa.
