It’s that time of year again, as the nation’s attention turns to the college hoops scene for the next couple of weeks. I’m in three different pools again this year, one at work, one at my mom’s work, and one run by a friend. No Purdue in the tournament this year, so my picks were made mostly with my head and not my heart, though it pained me to have IU going as far as I did.

I have Louisville coming out of the Midwest region.

New Mexico is my pick to come out of the West region.

The Florida Gators are my choice to advance from the South region.

The dreaded Hoosiers of IU are, unfortunately, my pick to take the East region.

There you have it.  I have Louisville taking down Florida to win the National Championship.
