According to the ‘Duk, at Big League Stew, based on his time traveling from locker 
room to locker room in spring training, “Each team has its own NCAA tournament pool and each squad had players who were poring over their picks in front of their lockers.”
In a video on Mets.com, John Maine has picked Memphis to win the NCAA Tournament; David Wright likes North Carolina; Brian Schneider, Billy Wagner and Scott Schoenweiss pick Duke; Aaron Heilman naturally picks Notre Dame; Damion Easley picks Kansas; and Howard Johnson likes any team not from the ACC, because, as he put it, “David Wright will not shut up if the ACC wins it.”
…and since people keep asking me on e-mail, my Final Four is: UNC vs. Georgetown, UCLA vs. Marquette…

Picking Duke in the final four is like picking the yanks in the world series every year. You are stuck in the 1990’s!!
nice
don’t hold the Mayo!
USC is going all the way, you can thank me later.
haha, D’oh!
Stick to baseball Matt…Marquette?
Louisville v. Wisconsin & Pitt v. UCLA
I had Wisconsin doing some damage last year and they killed me…fool me once, shame on me…
I have K-State bringing down the Badgers this year…
Great minds think alike…Wright is right on this one…’Heels all the way! See you in San Antonio…
What about Metsblog tourney challenge? Maybe in 2009…
John Maine’s right on. Memphis is the pick!
A lot of ESPN “experts” (use the term lightly) are picking LOT of number 1’s for the final four
-UCLA has a pretty EASY road to the final four
-NC has been nasty and hot lately
-Mephis/Tenn are due to lose again
- I like G-town to upset Kansas
- UCLA / NC coinflip
– NC by a hair
Agree 100%…I have UNC beating UCLA in final 72-65…UCLA’s defense is sufficating at times…only they can slow down the ‘heels.
WISCONSIN = FINAL FOUR !!!
heard it here first…..GO BADGERS!!!
Don’t underestimate the power of Beasley.
K state is going no where. even though beasly and mayo going head to head is the best frist round matchup. And Hearing Wisconsin winning it all is not hearing it here first. they won the big 10 they have a better team then last year and i think 90% of my pool has them in the final four
heard it here 104,019th
when Beasely scored 40 points, K-State still lost
anybody else streaming the ncaa tourney? i’m not getting annoucer audio, just game audio.
oh, a message just popped up on the player saying that they are aware of the problem…
I know UGA is a longshot to even win one game, but… GO DAWGS! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SOME XAVIER ARSE!
UNC over Georgetown, and UCLA over Texas . . .
On the night of April 7th, it’s UNC all the way.
i have georgetown losing to Wisco… i think they r overrated this year……
Wisc. Pitt. Duke. UNC. final four.
i hate the duke pick too but UCLA depends on a frosh and neither of these teams faces a challenge until they face each other. the bracket is full of overranked teams or teams that are way too young to make a run.
Siena over Vandy thats your upset pick right there
Since the Siena campus is less than five miles north of where I’m sitting at the moment, I’d agree with that one. But, I’ll be at Good Friday service in my Catholic Church’s choir at the time they play . . . :(
not bad but I hate the DUke pick also…….. i tihnk u gotta pick UCLA because they have made the final 4 the past two years and are only stronger this year
davidson in the elite 8 – you heard it here first
wow, nobody on the Mets or on here is picking UCLA to win it all. Can I join into big money pool with all of these people?
