Kansas: West
The Wildcats played through a great game against Arizona to get to this point and have a really good chance of making it to the final. They've played through the toughest bracket and managed to pull out wins against Duke and Zona... very impressive. Collison and Hinrich are two great players, and look for Keith Langford to step up. I'm a fan of Roy Williams, and I must say I'm sure he'll have his team ready to go in this one.

Texas: South
I apologize. I didn't give the Longhorns much credit. Texas got here by beating Michigan State, who no one expected to make it that far. Nevertheless, Texas isn't too far from New Orleans and should have a decent crowd on hand. T.J. Ford needs to be brilliant like he has been all year and will need some back-up from Mouton.

Syracuse: East
The Cuse looks to be the most athletic team in the rest of the field and can't ask for anything more from their two talented freshmen, Carmello Anthony and Gerry McNamara. I like this Orangemen team, and if they don't play like they did when they beat Oklahoma, which was a very sloppy game, then they have a great shot. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
