MARCH MADNESS
South West EAST MidwestFor the first time since 2007, a team
from Florida will play in the NCAA final four — and it won’t be the Florida Gators.
The Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles will shock the world, surviving tournament hopefuls Georgetown University and Kansas University, to advance to the Final Four in Atlanta.
The key to the Eagles Cinderella run is Carlos Ray Norris, better known as Chuck Norris. Unbeknownst to many analysts and experts, the Eagles have a distant relative of the greatest action hero ever coaching its team.
Eagles assistant coach Kevin Norris might be related to Chuck Norris. Or he might not, but it doesn’t matter when he can cut through a knife with hot butter.
Mr. Norris will channel his inner action hero for the Eagles’ first game against Georgetown. He might not play, but his passion and ability to scare death into not letting him know he’s dead will catapult the Eagles to a victory.
The Eagles will then meet the Oklahoma Sooners, but blow past them because of Norris’ ability to make a happy meal cry. The Eagles will then face the Florida Gators.
The Gators will prove to be the Eagles toughest challenge in the tournament, most likely jumping out to a 15-point lead at halftime. But that’s where Norris comes in.
He will deliver a roundhouse kick to the throat of Eagles head coach Andy Enfield and take over halftime, proceeding to give the speech of his life — a speech that will make Gene Hackman in “Hoosiers” and Al Pacino in “Any Given Sunday” look like losers.
The opposition will only get tougher from there, but that won’t bother Mr. Norris, who holds the only hand in poker that beats a royal flush — his fist.
The Eagles will go on to win the national championship and then Mr. Norris will go on to mentor his son’s Boy Scout camping trip, rubbing two ice cubes together to make fire — as only he knows how.
The Ohio State University will win the NCAA tournament’s West region because OSU is the best at everything — not really, but the Buckeyes will indeed win the region.
OSU received an easier road to the Final Four than the No. 1 overall seed Louisville, who finds themselves in the same bracket as Tom Izzo’s Michigan State and Mike Krzyzewski’s Duke.
The Buckeyes toughest opposition in the West is probably Wisconsin, which it just beat in the Big Ten championship game. It also finds itself in the same region as Gonzaga, the worst No. 1 seed in the whole tournament.
I’m aware Gonzaga only lost two games over its entire 32-game schedule, but I’m also aware it played a few teams worse than Cincinnati’s own Walnut Hills High School basketball team — which is still alive in Ohio high school’s final four, which is also coincidentally farther than Gonzaga will get in the NCAA tournament.
OSU does face a potentially tricky matchup against Notre Dame in the second round, but St. Patrick’s Day already happened and the Irish won’t have luck on its side against OSU.
The Buckeyes aren’t unbeatable by any means. In fact, OSU is terribly unbalanced. Forward Deshaun Thomas is a legitimate NBA talent, but no one other than him knows how to score the basketball.
I respect Aaron Craft tremendously for his defensive tenacity and ability to pester opposing point guards, but Craft won’t get to play Michigan St. — who he’s scored 21 and 20 points against the last two times he’s played them — in the NCAA tournament.
His season average of 9.9 points-per-game will likely be enough to get the Buckeyes through the weak West region, but against a team like Louisville — who really knows how to defend — in the Final Four, OSU will wish a scorer like Jared Sullinger was still around.
The most unfortunate slight by this year’s tournament selection committee is leaving the University of Miami out of the No. 1seeds.
Although Indiana University will make it through the East Region, it’s a travesty that “The U” is relegated to making a go of it from the second seed.
Had either Duke or North Carolina won both the ACC regular season and tournament, they would have walked into a top seed without question.
Throughout the bracket, there are upset chances for the bettors watching March Madness.
Bucknell and Colorado both present major challenges for Butler and Illinois.
Beyond those two matchups, chalk should be the theme of the East Region.
Indiana lost to a spirited Wisconsin team in its conference semifinals, but should have no issues until the Elite Eight when it potentially faces “The U. “
Bucknell stands a good chance to knock off Butler because both teams are nearly identical in composition.
The difference is that Bucknell is in the same boat Butler was years ago when it made a Final-Four run losing to Duke on a failed last-second shot.
Colorado poses matchup challenges for Illinois at both guard and center.
Although it faced weak competition in the PAC 12, Colorado is poised to make noise in March because of its center play and defense.
Although Illinois plays in the best conference in college basketball, there’s a good chance it could be looking forward to a matchup with Miami to get into the Sweet 16.
The East region will go chalk, but Miami should have had a chance to win a bracket as a one-seed team, but there’s no accounting for bad taste in this world.
After winning its second consecutive Big East Conference Tournament Championship and mutilating Syracuse in the process, the Louisville Cardinals will be everyone’s favorite to come out of the Midwest. No matter, the Duke Blue Devils will prevail in Atlanta, Ga.
This is arguably the toughest region in the tournament, with both Louisville, Duke, Oregon and Memphis entering the tournament in very good form.
Cincinnati and Creighton, both of which have experienced a fair share of highs and lows this season, were both highly ranked early in the season and could make a run as well.
Louisville shouldn’t face a legitimate threat until its likely Sweet 16 matchup with St. Louis. Although the Bilikens have had a season to be proud of, after the shocking death of its head coach Rick Majerus, the Cards are too hot to fall to a less-talented team right now.
Duke will have a slightly tougher road to its Elite Eight matchup with the Cardinals. The Blue Devils will face the winner of UC and Creighton in the second round and both team have showed the ability to play with the best teams in the country this season.
The Blue Devils will likely face either Michigan State or Memphis in the Sweet 16 — both would provide a talented team with an elite coach.
Nevertheless, Coach K and Duke’s scheme gives the Devils an advantage in such a down year.
The Midwest region should produce the most exciting Elite Eight matchup, with Coach K facing off against longtime foe Rick Pitinio for a trip to the Final Four.
Although Louisville boasts three solid post players, Duke’s combination of Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly will make the difference in the end.
Kelly’s ability to score inside and out will open up the defense and allow for Plumlee and Duke’s guards to have more scoring opportunities.
TNR staff’s Final Four projections

MARCH MADNESS
JOSHUA A. MILLER | SPORTS EDITOR
The popular choice in the Midwest Region is going to be the Louisville Cardinal. And rightfully so, as the Cards just turned in the most impressive half of collegiate basketball I’ve ever seen against Syracuse.
Despite that, I’m going with Duke to prevail in the end. Both squads have what appears to be an easy route to the Elite Eight, where I believe Ryan Kelly will be the difference for Duke. Coach K and Duke are 17-1 with Kelly in the lineup.
In the West region, the Buckeyes have the benefit of playing in weakest region of the tournament.
With Aaron Craft emerging as a viable offensive threat, OSU ran through the Big Ten tournament championship.
Although OSU could falter against a resilient New Mexico team in the Sweet 16, I’m going with the Buckeyes to defeat Wisconsin in the Elite Eight and advance
to the Final Four. in the south, mostly because this is the
most diluted year in the history of college basketball, I’m going with one mid-major in the Final Four.
VCU is the benefactor of that spot. Led by head coach Shaka Smart, whose been there before, VCU has the leadership and the scoring — 78 points per game — to make the trip to Atlanta this year.
Despite the absolute drubbing Syracuse took in the second half of the Big East Tournament, I’m picking the Orange to prevail in the East region.
Cuse played its best basketball of the season in the conference tournament and Jim Boeheim is actually interested in coaching when it matters.
As much as I hate this pick, Duke beats out Syracuse for the title.
Coach K, Ryan Kelly do it for Duke
KEITH BIERYGOLICK | MANAGING EDITTOR
This is the year of the No. 2 seed. Ohio State, Miami, Duke and
Georgetown will all make it to the Final Four because 2013’s crop of No. 1 seeds is terrible. When a team from the West Coast Conference is a No. 1 seed you know there’s a problem.
Gonzaga is great as a No. 7 or 8 seed that can potentially sneak up on opponents, but as a No. 1 seed that everyone else is gunning for, “forgettaboutit!”
Louisville is the only No. 1 seed with a chance at making it to the Final Four, but the Cardinals got stuck in the same region as Duke and Michigan State.
I could put together a team of 10 elderly grandmothers, but Tom Izzo and Mike Krzyzewski would still take them to the Final Four.
Kansas could potentially face North Carolina in the second round, and no matter what type of season the Tar Heels are having, no one wants to face them this
earlier in the tournament. Indiana might have to face Syracuse
in the Sweet 16, or possibly Marquette in the Elite Eight, which doesn’t bode well for a team that couldn’t defeat Wisconsin in the Bit Ten tournament.
From there, OSU will fall because of its reliance on forward Deshaun Thomas and Georgetown will lose because it finally played one too many games of ugly basketball — it will fall behind early and be unable to catch up.
The championship game will feature a matchup the conference opponents, which Duke will win because Duke seemingly wins every year.
Wait, no it doesn’t. Last year it lost to No. 15 seed Lehigh.
Regardless, Duke will win because, seriously, who else are you going to pick?
ANNIE MOORE | SPORTS EDITOR
Healthy Hoosiers in March could mean trouble for not only the East division, but the entire 68-team field.
Tom Crean’s team has been competitive all year in one of the country’s hardest conferences, and its veteran players will be the key to success for Indiana University basketball.
It all starts with Big Ten defensive player of the year Victor Oladipo.
Not only is Oladipo one of the country’s best defenders on the perimeter, he is also an offensive catalyst — averaging 13.6 points a game.
This Indiana team enters the tournament just five years after Head Coach Tom Crean came to Bloomington, proceeding the NCAA violation mess that was Kelvin Sampson’s reign.
In just five short years Crean has taken in the Hoosiers to its first outright Big Ten championship since 1993 —using largely players from the local area.
While the coaching is outstanding, and Oladipo could have easily taken Trey Burke’s spot as Big Ten player of the year, sophomore forward Cody Zeller will be the integral piece of the Indiana Hoosiers’ path to Atlanta.
Zeller, who averages 16.9 points per game, is not only the team’s offensive leader, but pulls down 8.2 rebounds a game.
The biggest threats to Indiana’s national championship are Big East championship runner-up Syracuse University, and the Hurricanes of Miami (Fla.).
If the Hoosiers can squeeze past those teams because of bench play from Will Sheehey and Remy Abell, it could very well be looking at its first NCAA men’s basketball championship since 1987.
BENJAMIN GOLDSCHMIDT | CHIEF REPORTER
Pope Francis will lead Notre Dame team to the national championship this year — I heard he’s live tweeting the game too.
Knowing the team has the endorsement of his holiness — the Vicar of Christ himself — will inspire a level of competitiveness into the hearts of these Catholic Irishmen that is unmatched.
One year I picked Kansas to win and woke up the next morning with an undisclosed amount of money from an unknown source.
If I can make that happen again just by picking Kansas, I will do so happily. \
The circumstances were inexplicable. Frankly, I don’t even like Kansas, but
I’m poor and they’ve been my Tooth Fairy before, so why not?
In the midwest, a healthy mixture of wishful thinking and athletic ignorance leads me to believe UC will make it to the Final Four.
They might call me a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
This is by far the #HottestPickOnThisPage.
Please take this moment to realize that Josh Miller’s picks are far more prudent to follow. He is the sports editor and I’m just a lowly reporter.
Nonetheless, I think Marquette could make the Final Four. It’s a No. 3 seed, so I picked them.
A wise man once told me, “three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three — no more, no less. Four shalt not count. Five is right out.”
A friend of mine told me Marquette is not Buzz William’s most talented team, but his most cohesive unit in a long time.

Bearcats set to face Creighton in Philly

MARCH MADNESS
UC looks to win first round game for third-consecutive yearJOSHUA MILLER | SPORTS EDITOR
The University of Cincinnati (a No. 10 seed) men’s basketball team will take on the Creighton Bluejays (a No. 7 seed) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Philadelphia, Pa. Friday.
The Bearcats enter the tournament as a No. 10 seed, after earning a No. 6 seed in the two previous tournaments.
UC will look for its third consecutive first-round win, after defeating Missouri and Texas in the first round in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Cincinnati enters the NCAA tournament after falling to Georgetown, 62-43, in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.
UC scored just 10 points in the final 14 minutes of that game.
Creighton heads to Philadelphia in much better form, having won seven of its last eight games, including a 68-65 victory over Wichita State in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament championship.
The Bluejays also claimed the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season crown.
The Bluejays are led by junior forward Doug McDermot, who averages 23.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
McDermot ranks second in the country in scoring, behind only Virginia Tech’s Erick Green.
No other Creighton player averages more than 10 points per game, but the Blujays don’t struggle offensively by any means.
Creighton is moret offensiveky efficient than UC, making 50.8 percent of its shot attempts and averaging 74 points per contest.
Statistically speaking, UC and Creighton are about as polar oppsite as two teams can be.
UC’s shooting struggles and overall offensive woes grew increasingly notcieable as the season went on.
Cincinnati does hold a significant advantage in rebounding, averaging 40 boards per game, which ranks eighth in the nation.
Whichever team advances will likely have the misfortune of taking on he Duke Blue Devils in the next round.
KEYS TO THE GAME FOR UC: Force Turnovers: The Bearcats will have
to rely on forcing turnovers in this matchup. If Creighton finishes the game with
the same number of shot attempts as UC, it will be a quick tournament exit for the Bearcats.
Creighton shoots 50 precent fromt the field, UC shoots 40 percent.
Sean Kilpatrick: UC can’t win if Sean Kilpatrick doesn’t hit his avearge of 16 points per game.
The Bearcats have won only five times this year when he hasn’t.
KEY MATCHUPS: UC’s Guards vs. Creighton’s Guards:
The chances of Cincinnati’s big men scoring half as many points as McDermot will for Creighton are slim.
As a result, this game will come down to Cincinnati’s guards trying to make up the difference.
If Cashmere Wright continues his resergance in form and Kilpatrick finds his way, UC should advance.
