It\u2019s that time of year again, as the nation\u2019s attention turns to the college hoops scene for the next few weeks. I\u2019m down to just two pools this yearone at my mom\u2019s work, and one run by a friend, as the work pool died due to lack of interest.\u00a0 I will be in Milwaukee tonight to watch the Purdue Boilermakers make their third straight tournament appearance, hopefully advancing past this first weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Last year’s champion, Villanova, gets the overall #1 seed and are my pick to advance to the Final Four.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Purdue ends up as the 4 seed in the Midwest, and I have them going to the Elite Eight, before falling to Oregon.\u00a0 I have tickets to the first two games, so I hope they can at least win those 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Northwestern makes their first ever tournament appearance, earning the 8 seed in the West.\u00a0 My pick is that West Virginia heads to the Final Four.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not much in the way of upsets in the South region, but I do have Kentucky advancing to the Final Four.<\/p>\n
