Picks that you can take to the bank

It’s the time for everybody to step in the pool and The Concordian is no exception.

My picks for the final four will be later on, but here are some upsets that won’t be documented in my picks.

First of all, look for 14th-seeded Xavier to beat third-ranked Gonzaga in the Oakland bracket. Gonzaga has one of the best players in College basketball in Adam Morrison, but they have been struggling as of late. Xavier isn’t a bad team, either.

I also really like UCLA and Syracuse and fully expect both to go far. UCLA has flown under the radar all season long and Syracuse can pull off more upsets like they did to clinch their Big East championship.

I expect Boston College to beat Pacific, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Pacific pulls off the upset in the Minneapolis bracket.

I also expect UAB to do well after their tough loss against Memphis in the final of the Conference USA tournament.

Without further ado, here are the selections for the final four and National Championship by people at The Concordian.
