Elite Eight Picks Pt.1


Now that my bracket is completely ruined, here are my picks for the West and East Finals:

Kansas State (-4.5) over Butler

This should be the more entertaining of the two games today, and we'll get to see how much steam K-State has in them after the double overtime marathon against Xavier and Crawford the other night. I still think they should come out of the West, but Butler may prove tougher than expected. I like their drive though,and Pullen is the man right now; I can certainly put faith in this team, and hopefully they'll win this within a reasonable time frame.

Kentucky (-4.5) over West Virginia

John Wall and company should be able to walk out of the East quite unscathed. West Virginia will be their toughest competition yet, and it might be an awakening for the Wildcats in preparation for a tough Final Four. They'll definitely have to step up their game in time for Duke or Baylor, and I'm interested to see how they'll handle the Mountaineers. Judging by the season they've been having though, I think it should go quite smoothly.

Sorry for the rushed post, at work and wanted to get my picks in before the games...
