I’ve been busy with work but finally posted my picks. The road is not easy for Syracuse but I think truth and justice will prevail with the Orange avenging their 1996 National Final loss to the Kentucky Wildcats in a 78-75.
Key Games:
(1) Syracuse doesn’t have an easy road. There will be tough games against Gonzaga in the second round which will be compounded by Onuku’s possible absence. Butler and Kansas State in the third and fourth rounds aren’t easy either. Ditto for Kansas in the National Semi Final and Kentucky in the National Final.
(2) Louisville upsets Duke in the second round. I think Louisville can shoot the ball and makes a run to the Elite Eight.
(3) West Virginia loses to the Kentucky in the Elite Eight.
(4) Ohio State makes a nice run to the Elite Eight beating tough teams like Oklahoma State and Georgetown along the way.
The Tank’s Bottom Line: Expect upsets, enjoy the ride, and please root on the Orange. Let’s Go Orange!
