NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Challenge

[dlgood]

As I did each of the last two years, once again, I'll be hosting a free - for pride only - NCAA Men's Basketball Bracket on ESPN.com. Let's find out if we'll get someone new, or if it'll be threepeat by two-time winner, sistakaren.

For those wishing to participate follow these easy steps:

1. Go to ESPN's Tournament Challenge page
2. If you do not have a free, ESPN Games ID, create an ID.
3. Join the group LJ Bracket Challenge and create an entry
4. Mock me and my crazy picks.

Note: The team listed as Control Bracket is simply an entry I've added in which the favored seed (not the Vegas favorite) was selected to win every game. For the purposes of seeing how our upsets deviate from expectations.

Florida won the SEC tournament, so they either have good tourney mojo going or they all ready used up all their mojo. Should be interesting.

If you had to pick one team to win it all, who would you choose?

Duke is the chalk pick, but Connecticut is the overall favorite. And I probably have to pick them, just like every prognosticator under the sun is...

Florida looks like they are peaking. The downside is that, under Billy Donovan, Florida has generally performed poorly in the tournament. Except for the 2000 team that made the Final Four. And that team was really young, just like this one. So maybe they can do it...
