March Madness 2009: Who’s Your Pick?

March Madness is one of my favorite times of the year.  Who will win?  What will the upsets be?  The joy of NCAA basketball is that all 64 teams have a chance to win big – no matter how unexpectedly.

My Kansas State University Wildcats are in the NIT (with a big overtime win last night!), so I do not have any bias as to who wins this year.

For the championship game, I have Duke beating Kansas 86-80.  As much as I hate KU, I think they have a pretty solid road to the championship this year, pending any upsets like their loss to Bucknell a few years back.

Upsets:  Arizona over Utah, USC over BC, Maryland over California in the first round.   Wake Forest surprises Louisville in the Sweet Sixteen.  Missouri over UConn in the Elite Eight.
