Still a prick, just one with a bracket

I woke up this morning and thought, "do I really want to go through the next four incredible days of basketball with absolutely nothing riding on the outcomes?"

Of course I didn't. These picks suck, and I hate at least half of my final four.

But at least I know I am wasting five bucks on the tournament.

Champion: Connecticut

Final Game: UConn, Illinois

Final Four: UConn, Illinois, Syracuse, Georgia Tech

Elite Eight: UConn, Illinois, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Kentucky

Sweet 16: UConn, Illinois, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Arizona, Pacific, Gonzaga, Florida, Kansas

Round of 32: Illinois, Nevada, Alabama, Boston College, LSU, Arizona, St. Mary's, Oklahoma State, Washington, Pacific, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Texas Tech, Gonzaga, West Virginia, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Minnesota, New Mexico, Florida, Wisconsin, Kansas, NC State, UConn, Duke, Mississippi State, Michigan State, Syracuse, UTEP, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Kentucky.

If you're scoring at home, as far as upsets go (11 over 6 or bigger) that's only New Mexico over Villanova and UTEP over Utah in the first round.

Pacific over Washington in the second round is kind of ballsy, but not really.

I've got a #1 (Illinois), a #2 (Connecticut), a #4 (Syracuse), and a #5 Georgia Tech in the Final Four, so that's kind of interesting. But like I said, it's not particularly inspired.
