2011 NCAA March Madness (UPDATE)

Technically, I had all 4 of my Final Four picks in the Sweet Sixteen, and 3 of the 4 in the Elite Eight, but then all went awry. At first I couldn't believe Butler and VCU in the Final Four, but when you see how they won their games, they definitely deserve to be in the Final Four in Houston.

Here are my picks:

Butler over VCU
UConn over Kentucky

Butler over UConn

(But honestly, deep inside, I feel VCU is capable of beating Butler and wouldn't it be cool for VCU to beat Kentucky in the final to finish destroying the BCS conferences?!)

2011 NCAA March Madness

Ohio State, Duke, Kansas, Florida

Duke over Ohio State
Kansas over Florida

Duke over Kansas
