2013 NCAA Tournament Picks: Final Four

No. 1MW Louisville vs. No. 1W Gonzaga
Everyone says that there’s no dominant team this year, but I disagree. Louisville is far and away the top team in my rankings. The Cardinals destroyed teams all year – they have 13 conference victories of 15-plus – save for a three-game skid in mid-January. They’ve been invincible ever since, save for a fluky five-overtime loss to Notre Dame.

I like Gonzaga a lot, as mentioned in the West Bracket, but the Cardinals will be too much.

2013 NCAA Tournament Pick: No. 1MW Louisville

No. 3S Florida vs. No. 2E Miami
I relied on my rankings a lot in these picks. I have Florida two slots ahead of Miami, but I’m going to trust my gut. I just trust the Hurricanes more than the Gators. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen Florida lose so many close games. Maybe it’s because of Shane Larkin and the Hurricanes’ experience. Maybe it’s because of James Larranaga. I believe in this Miami squad.

2013 NCAA Tournament Pick: No. 2E Miami

2013 NCAA Tournament: Championship

No. 1MW Louisville vs. No. 2E Miami
OK, I believe in this Miami team unless it has to go up against Louisville. Like I said, this Cardinal team has been on an unbelievable run since its mid-January funk. It steamrolled through the Big East Tournament for the second year in a row. This time, there won’t a Kentucky buzzsaw standing in Louisville’s path.

2013 NCAA Tournament Pick: No. 1MW Louisville
