Now is the time to make statements in which you will be called out and have to eat crow. I'll start.

The Big East will have ZERO teams in the final 4.
There is NO CHANCE Duke makes it past the sweet 16.
TWO Big Ten teams will make the elite 8, at least ONE will make the Final Four.
Ohio State will WIN the National Championship.

Go!

Yeah, do it. I'm not a big fan of predictions but a big fan of pointing out fails...I'm a pussy like that.

My crazy one: Arizona in the final four in the west.

Another one: KSU over BYU for the Final Four in the SE.

Bill Self gets shot (but lives) by an angry Illinois fan after he beats his old team by 30.

That win could be over BYU, which could be an awesome game.

Everyone goes broke as shit paying for a 3rd session ticket that includes Ohio State, Syracuse, and Xavier. Not very bold, but definitely unfortunate to my wallet.

That is pretty bold, and very confusing.

So are we making bold or more along the line of crazy predictions?

If crazy, I'm saying Michigan State makes it to the Elite Eight; if we're talking more along the lines of more bold than crazy, then I'll say only four Big East teams make it to the sweet sixteen.

It's not that confusing. He thinks Clemson is the only team that will win a game. The other 67 teams will all lose their openers and therefore Clemson wins the national championship.

Clemson wins their "play in" game and then wins its 2nd round game, the only team of the 8 to do so.

You're just making predictions that you will be called out on if they fail or patted on the back if you end up being right.

But mostly for the fail.

North Carolina I could see not getting by Syracuse. You want to put them in the Final Four?

Izzo may be good, but I don't think Jesus Christ has directly touched him.
