So, Florida or UCLA? I'm going with UCLA, even though their games have been very ugly.

Oh, and I love the pic of the Wichita State cheerleader. I found that to be the general mindset of women at WSU.

I'm still going with Florida to win it all. UCLA took care of LSU much easier than I expected, but I still don't like them for some reason. Overall, it's been a great tournament. Hopefully the final will be just as good.

I want to say UCLA, but I'm picking Florida.

My reasoning comes from the tattered remains of my bracket (what's black and white and red all over...?)

Basically, of the four final four teams, I had George Mason out in the first round, LSU in the second, and both UCLA and Florida in the sweet sixteen.

Of those two, I had both losing to teams that didn't even make those rounds (Indiana and Ohio State, respectively).

However, I had picked both the teams and outcomes of Florida's previous games (South Alabama and UWM), while I had Marquette facing UCLA instead of Alabama. Because of that success I'm picking Florida.

In other words, bet the house on UCLA.

I'm picking UCLA. My mind says I'm stupid for picking them, but when I saw UCLA beat Memphis.. they became my pick to win it all. Florida is a tough team, it's just I hate them with the same passion that I hate Carolina with. That would be like me cheering for the Skankees.. it just isn't gonna happen.

My prognostication skills went straight down the well.

Florida looked awesome tonight. UCLA's anemic offense was exposed. Despite this I think Ben Howland did a unbelieveable job and deserves a ton of credit. I wouldn't be surprised if both these teams are back in the National Title game next year. They might be #1 and #2 in the preseason poll to start next year.

Apparently my illogical logic came through when it mattered least.

I officially know nothing about college basketball

wow, I didn't UCLA would lose like that. I expected it to be a down to the wire game. I still refuse to give credit to Florida though

I think UCLA refused to give them credit too. And they got embarrassed.

It great to be a Florida Gator!
