As you have no doubt read by now, my first draft bracket is like a Charles Bronson movie. Carolina gets revenge for: the 2008 Final Four and beats Kansas in the regional final; losing to FSU twice this year by beating the Noles in the national semi-final; losing to Kentucky last year and in December by winning the 2012 National Championship.
In terms of the brackets, the Midwest and East look pretty tame. In the Midwest, I guess Belmont takes down Georgetown so NC State goes to the sweet 16 but that's it in terms of upsets.
In the East, I have Vandy beating Syracuse (44 to 41 or something exciting like that, though I want to pick UNC-Asheville in an historic upset over the Orange), and FSU toughing it out against a slumping Ohio State on their way to their first Final Four since 1972 (where coincidentally enough, they beat Robert McAdoo and the Tar Heels).
I have a few upsets in the South - UNLV over Duke - but that's about it as Kentucky coasts in an easy region.
The West, however, is the crazy bracket. I have Memphis over Michigan State, Long Beach State (and their Kramer inspired 'The Beach' unis) and Murray State BOTH making the sweet 16 before Missouri beats Memphis to win the regional.
Then Carolina finally beats FSU, and Kentucky blows out Missouri in the national semi-finals. A gassed Kentucky runs out of steam late in the second half, Marshall feeds Zeller, and Barnes drives at will as the Heels win 81-71 in their favorite Final Four destination, New Orleans.
Or something like that.
Oh yeah, GO HEELS!
