I don't claim to be an NCAA bracketmaster but I do my best each season to pick the upsets and winners, etc. The winners of the Chicago and Albuquerque Regions play each other in the National Semifinals (Final Four) as do the winners of Syracuse and Austin. Game times will be announced on Monday and I will post them on the blog. In Kentucky, basketball is a way of life. I like Travis Ford and any other game, I'd be rooting for him but not on Thursday. Any other games, I'd have EKU pulling the upset.
