NCAA Tournament – Colonials vs Tigers Pick
The Tigers finished the season right about where we expected, near the top of the new AAC. This is a team that can be dangerous at times but still too often seems to not live up to the assumed talent level.
NCAA Tournament – Chanticleers vs Cavaliers Pick
Well the Cavs have done it. They have used their blue collar approach to climb to the top of the ACC mountain, besting perennial contenders like Duke and North Carolina as well as newcomers like Syracuse.
NCAA Tournament – Blue Hens vs Spartans Pick
If you are looking for a good team that is thriving heading into the tournament look no further than Michigan State. The Spartans have been struggling with injuries for months but now fully healthy they look as good as any team in the East bracket.
NCAA Tournament – Crimson vs Bearcats Pick
The Bearcats have had a great season but I think it is fair to say they peaked a little too early.
2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
The Hawkeyes got off to such a strong start they have to be surprised they are even in this position.
2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
Yesterday I wrote that Mount St. Mary’s was the least deserving team in the tournament but I was probably wrong because that title belongs to Cal Poly. Even in winning the Big West they finished with only a 13-19 record and they were well under .500 in their league.
East Region Predictions
I think the East region has loads of possibilities. I am not seeing a lot of upsets in the first round but after that I think we could see many brackets torn up. In my estimation all 8 of the top seeds could wind up representing this region in the Final Four – I am not sure if that makes this one loaded or light.
2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
The Wolfpack got here because they have demonstrated not just an ability to beat good teams, but to do so outside their home arena.
2014 MLB Team Previews – Royals
The Royals have been on an upward trend for the last 5 years and their biggest leap came last year when they won 14 more games than the year before.
2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
I want to go on record again and say that I think it is shabby that automatic qualifiers have to play in these play in games…its just not fair. That aside the Great Danes are probably happy with their draw of MSMU, a team they beat in 2010 and 2011.
Oklahoma City vs Chicago NBA Picks
It seems like none of the top teams in the league are not playing all that well right now…including Oklahoma City. The Thunder will be on a back to back for this one playing Dallas at home before hopping a flight up to the Windy City to play the Bulls.
Blue Devils vs Cavaliers Handicapping
The Blue Devils have made it to the ACC Championship Game but they have not been overly impressive. They barely got by Clemson in the quarterfinals and also failed to cover in the semis against N.C. State.
Wildcats vs Bulldogs Handicapping
The Wildcats have underwhelmed this season but at least they did not flameout in the SEC Tounament.
Florida vs Tennessee CBB Picks
The Gators continued their dominance of the SEC with an easy quarterfinal victory over Missouri.
2014 NL Pennant Race
The National League lost the World Series last year with Boston defeating St. Louis. The AL got most the attention in the offseason with the Yankees paying big sums to reload and big trades like the one that moved Prince Fielder down to Texas.
