We did marginally well projecting the Sweet 16 and Final Four this season.
We predicted 10 of the Sweet 16 teams correctly and two of the Final 4 teams (Florida and UCLA). Unfortunately, we thought Texas would be the national champion this season; so while we still have two teams alive in the Final Four, we missed the championship game match after predicting Texas vs. Connecticut in the title game.
We feel the Florida Gators will eventually take this national title, defeating the UCLA Bruins in the championship game.
Stop back in during the off-season for updates, coaching changes and other noteworthy news.

Bracket Projections and Predictions
We have spent the past 3 days analyzing this bracket and have come up with our thoughts and predictions on the first round upsets, Sweet 16, Final Four and Champion.
First Round Upsets:
Our best bet for the first round upsets are:
Xavier #14 seed over Gonzaga (if the Zags do not lose here, they will lose to Indiana in the second round)
NC State #10 seed over California (The Bears have been too inconsistent all season and NC State has faced tougher competition this year)
Seton Hall #10 seed over Wichita State (The Pirates have been an enigma, losing to lower quality teams and beating better quality teams. The Shockers are a better quality team and we like Seton Hall to prevail here)
UAB #9 over Kentucky, NC Wilmington #9 over George Washington, Wisconson #9 over Arizona
Sweet 16:
Our Sweet 16 selections are:
Duke
LSU
WVU
Texas
Memphis
Kansas
Indiana
UCLA
Connecticut
Illinois
UNC
Seton Hall
Villanova
BC
Florida
Ohio State
Final 4:
Our Final Four is:
Texas
UCLA
Connecticut
Florida
and we like the Texas Longhorns as this year's national champion.
Whatever the results, we wish you luck on your bracket and we hope everyone enjoys the NCAA Tournament.

Overall we feel we did poorly this year. Despite what many peiple perceive as an odd and unusual bracket by the NCAA Selection Committee, we still strive to do better. We can take solace in being the best (along with Michael Lazarus of Fox Sports and Coop at Bracketamology) at projecting the bracket within one correct seed. That is still not up to our standards and we know we can do better.
Check back during the week for updates, brackets and projections for both the NCAA Tournament and the NIT Tournament (I can already assure you we will be taking Tuesday night off to visit Penn State for an NIT game).
Enjoy the tournament and good luck.

Reflections on the bracket
As the brackets were announced we should have had a clue that things were going to be unusual. Things we noticed immediately were:
California a 7 seed ?
George Washington an 8 seed ?
We know the Colonials did not play a very good schedule this season, but what a snub !!!
As the bracket progressed...
Pitt a 5 seed ? .... seems the Panthers are getting snubbed with low seeds year after year.
San Diego State an 11 seed (we should have seen what was about to come from this one)
Then came the Washington DC region.
We were surprised when Utah State was announced, but we were SHOCKED when we saw Air Force come up !!!!!!
..... and then to see Tennessee as a 2 seed ??
perhaps a few weeks ago, but what have the Volunteers done lately ?? I guess losing three out of your last four (and four out of your last six) doesn't make a difference.
The final region was not a huge surprise, except for Nevada as a 5 seed. We thought we were a bit high with the Wolf Pack as a 6 seed, but as a 5 ??? Seems high.
We can not argue much with the three teams we selected and were left out.
We missed on Cincinnati, Missouri State and Hofstra. We half expected to miss on Hofstra (and include Seton Hall), but to include Utah State and Air Force ??
This is by far the most surprising bracket we have seen in the last 15 years.
Reflections: We only got 62/65 right. We can do much better and next year we will do much better. Despite missing three teams, we still had 30 teams seeded exactly right and we had 57/65 seeded within one line of their true seed.
We missed on the three teams we put in and were excluded
We missed by 2 spots on Pitt
We missed by three spots on California, Tennessee, George Washington and Montana (a 12)?
We are left scratching our heads at some of the selections and some of the seedings, but we can only move forward from here.
We will evaluate the brackets; look at the matchups in the NCAA Tournament and post projections and predictions in the next few days leading up to the first day of the NCAA Tournament.

NCAA Tournament Final Bracket 3/12/06
Here is our final bracket for the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
We fluctuated back and forth over whether to include Seton Hall in the bracket or not. In the end, we decided that despite the numerous good wins the Pirates had, their bad losses combined with losing four of their last six games doomed Seton Hall to the NIT. Hofstra was our last team in and Seton Hall was our last team out. We hope everyone has enjoyed the past few weeks of projecting the NCAA Tournament field. We look forward to the next few weeks and as the NCAA Tournament heats up, we will have projections and predictions on the field and the bracket and we will post the entire NCAA Tournament bracket and offer up-to-the-minute updates on every NCAA (and NIT) Tournament game.
Enjoy the MADNESS everyone !

Bubble Wrap 3/12/06
The only game of bubble significance is the SEC Championship between Florida and South Carolina. Should the Gamecocks win, one more bubble team would lose their spot.
South Carolina: The Florida Gators do EVERY bubble team a great service by knocking off South Carolina and pushing the Cocks to the NIT. If South Carolina had won, they would have taken a spot from a team already on the bubble and likely considered to be "in".
Florida: The Gators survive a late comeback bid from the Gamecocks. Joakim Noah scored the game-winning basket for Florida South Carolina tied the game with just under a minute remaining. This is the second straight SEC Tournament title for Florida and head coach Billy Donovan.
Duke: The Blue Devils defeat Boston College by two points and put an exclamation mark on their regular season ACC championship with yet another ACC Tournament championship. This marks the seventh ACC Tournament title for Duke in the past 8 years.
Northwestern State: The Demons fight off two Sam Houston State comebacks and hold on to defeat the Bearkats and claim the Southland Championship. Northwestern State erases the bad memories of a loss in last season's tournament final to Southeastern Louisiana.
Kansas: The Jayhawks proved themselves to the nation with a Big 12 Tournament title to go along with their share of the Big 12 regular season title. The Jayhawks came from behind in the second half to overtake the Longhorns and deny Texas their first Big 12 Tournament title.
Iowa: The Hawkeyes used a stifling defense to hold Ohio State to just three points in the final 7:15 in the second half en route to winning their second Big Ten Tournament title.
South Carolina: The Florida Gators do EVERY bubble team a great service by knocking off South Carolina and pushing the Cocks to the NIT. If South Carolina had won, they would have taken a spot from a team already on the bubble and likely considered to be "in".
Florida: The Gators survive a late comeback bid from the Gamecocks. Joakim Noah scored the game-winning basket for Florida South Carolina tied the game with just under a minute remaining. This is the second straight SEC Tournament title for Florida and head coach Billy Donovan.
Duke: The Blue Devils defeat Boston College by two points and put an exclamation mark on their regular season ACC championship with yet another ACC Tournament championship. This marks the seventh ACC Tournament title for Duke in the past 8 years.

NCAA Tournament Bracket Update 3/12/06
Here is our latest bracket update. We will post a final update just before the NCAA Selection show.
Teams in BOLD italics have qualified as an automatic bid.
The list of qualified bubble teams that have been omitted from this year's bracket is a short one-Seton Hall, Michigan, Air Force, Maryland, Utah State, Creighton, Wetsern Kentucky. The only teams that we are vexed on is the Seton Hall Pirates. We had them as our last team out and before the day's end, we might put them back in. In studying the bracket, we are finding more teams that deserve to be left out than teams that should be out in. We are uncertain about Hofstra/George Mason and whether 5 teams get in from the Missouri Valley. We are also unimpressed with North Carolina State, Wisconsin, Alabama, Northern Iowa and Arizona. Traditionally the NCAA Selection Committee has been reticent to include teams that have finished poorly, like these teams. Unfortunately, this years seems to have very few teams with which to replace any of these teams that are slumping. We are confident that we have all 65 teams correct, but if we do miss on any one team, we feel it might be Seton Hall. Regardless, we stand by our brackets and look forward to when the selection deadline.

Bubble Wrap 3/11/06
There are eleven automatic bids and a few last bubble spots still up for grabs today. Every bubble team will be intently watching the results from Reno (WAC Championship), Nashville (SEC semifinals), Denver (MWC Championship) and Dallas (Big 12 semifinals). If any of the cinderella teams (Utah State, South Carolina, Wyoming, and Nebraska) should win, there would be a ripple effect on every bubble team with hopes of getting in to the bracket.
Albany: The Great Danes win the America East Conference Tournament and advance to their first NCAA Tournament.
Nebraska and Wake Forest: The Huskers and Deacons both lose giving bubble teams a collective chance to catch their breath. However, trouble does await in........
South Carolina: The Gamecocks continue their improbable run to a SEC Tournament title and a possible spot in the NCAA Tournament. If the Cocks should win just one more game against Florida (a team they defeated twice during the regular season), they would "steal" a bid from a team whose name is already on the board and considered "in" by the NCAA Selection Committee.
UCLA: The Bruins follow up their regular season Pac Ten title with the Pac Ten Tournament title. UCLA is now in line for a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Xavier: The Musketeers become the lowest seed to win the Atlantic Ten Tournament on two free throws by Justin Doellman with 5 seconds remaining in the game.
Kent State: The Golden Flashes win their 25th game and advance to their first NCAA Tournament since 2002 with a narrow victory against Toledo in the MAC championship.
Hampton: The Pirates win four games in four days to capture the MEAC Championship. With the win, Hampton avenges a two-point loss in last year's title game to Delaware State.
Southern: The Jaguars win the SWAC Tournament and advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993 when they upset 4 seed Georgia Tech in the first round.
Syracuse: The Orange complete an improbable run and become the first team to win the Big East Tournament after playing four consecutive days. Syracuse defended their Big East Tournament title from 2005 and in the process became the lowest seeded team to win the Big East Tournament.
Nevada: Every bubble team breathes a HUGE sigh of relief as Nevada holds off Utah State to win the WAC Tournament in overtime. Utah State missed two shots at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime. In overtime, Marcellus Kemp hit a HUGE 3 with just under a minute remaining to stretch the lead to four and the Aggies never got closer than 3 points from there.
San Diego State: The Aztecs are yet another tournament champion that save the list of bubble teams from additional worry on Selection Sunday. It was doubtful that San Diego State would have received an at-large bid, but the Aztecs made that a moot point with an exciting overtime win against upset-minded Wyoming.
Pacific: The Tigers withstand an early second half rally from Long Beach State to win their second Big West Tournament in the past three years.
Memphis: The Tigers complete their domination of Conference USA with a resounding win in the championship game against 2 seed UAB. Memphis won 16 of 17 games they played this season against Conference USA competition.
Albany: The Great Danes win the America East Conference Tournament and advance to their first NCAA Tournament.
Nebraska and Wake Forest: The Huskers and Deacons both lose giving bubble teams a collective chance to catch their breath. However, trouble does await in........
South Carolina: The Gamecocks continue their improbable run to a SEC Tournament title and a possible spot in the NCAA Tournament. If the Cocks should win just one more game against Florida (a team they defeated twice during the regular season), they would "steal" a bid from a team whose name is already on the board and considered "in" by the NCAA Selection Committee.
