The Heels are in the Sweet Sixteen

Last week I was on vacation, so I didn't get a chance to give everyone my picks. That's probably a good thing.

This tournament has been a "status quo" tournament, with only one surprise in the Sweet 16--Arizona.

I correctly predicted 23 of the 32 first round games. That, my friends, is mediocre at best. I was a bit more successful in the second round, picking 13 of the 16 games acurately. I had FSU going to the Elite Eight, but they flamed out in the first round. So I'm already behind the eight ball for the next round.

My predictions:

UNC over Gonzaga
Syracuse over Oklahoma
Michigan State over West Virginia (already eliminated)
Louisville over WFU (already eliminated)
Connecticut over Purdue
Memphis over Missouri
FSU (already eliminated) over Pitt
Villanova over Duke

I didn't see the Heels play LSU, but I was happy with the end result. LSU was probably a fifth or sixth seed-caliber team, and they were ready against the Heels.
