I have Charleston, Purdue, St. Mary's and Texas in the Final Four.
Charleston?

Purdont shouldn't even be a #1 seed. They were 3-4 in their last 7 regular season games or something like that.

I predict Purdue won't go far. Heck, they can't handle a PSU press...

What is wrong with the PSU press?????

PSU came on strong down the stretch, and possibly will beat Texas A&M, but that is about it. Purdue is loaded with talent, but they seem to have gotten complacent.

This is a strange year for March Madness because there isn't a truly dominant team. There are some very good teams, but they all have their weaknesses. This may be the year a #16 seed makes it to the final 4 or even the championship game because it seems that on any given day all the teams this year can be beaten...

Absolutely nothing. Good teams should be able to handle a press. For the life of me I don't know why teams don't press more often, it can be very affective. It goes right down to the HS level... Nobody presses until maybe the end of a game...

A good team will actually break the full court press and score easily off of it.
