Sweet 16:
Duke
Georgia Tech
UNC
Wake Forest
UConn
Syracuse
Louisville
Kentucky
Alabama
Kansas
Texas
OK St
Illinois
Michigan State
Arizona
Washington

Elite 8:
Georgia Tech
UNC
Wake Forest
UConn
Syracuse
Alabama
Kansas
Illinois

Final Four:
UConn vs Georgia Tech (matchup of last years champinoship game)
Kansas vs. UNC

Championship Game:
UConn vs. UNC

2005 NCAA CHAMPION:
The UConn Huskies


What are your predictions?

I think washington will make it past the sweet 16. That is my only difference in this.

[gobigblue]

im gonna have to disagree, and say that kentucky will more than likely make it past the sweet 16...theyve got something to prove this year...falling short the previous 2 years...thats my only argument.

[cowboys_are_#1]

UConn lost to many of their starting in the draft to repeat as champs.

[craigm11]

completely wrong u cant predict this early because u know theres gunna be a few cinderellas and i think michighan state will go further just because i like them n they solid

[KILLA BEE10]

i know for sure syracuse is gonnna make it pass the sweet 16. i think this year syracuse team could be more talented then the carmelo team that won the 2003 national championship.

[hairboy123]

uconn sucks without okeafor i would say Kansas will win it all there always very consistent

[7 National Championships]

Simien will not stay healthy all season.... he never does.

I like the Illini's chances and OK state looks mighty tough. Both are veteran teams.

hmmm...well the further they make it, the further OSU will be, seeing how they are better.

OSU's season will be dissapointing if they don't make the final four again. Although it will be tough because there are so man good teams, OSU has the best depth in the nation, and have a good chance of getting to the championship game.
