One Game Left to a NCAA Championship

Two teams remain. Tomorrow, one of them will be the NCAA Division 1 Champion. The two semifinal games were an eye-opener for me. I missed both my predictions.

I had North Carolina over Kansas, and Kansas destroyed North Carolina 84-66. I also had UCLA over Memphis, and Memphis cruised to an easy 78-63 win over UCLA.

I was 0-2 (.000) for the semifinals. My overall prediction rate is now 45-16 (.738)

Tomorrow night at 9:21 in the Alamodome in San Antonio, one team will emerge as the champion.

My prediction is:

Memphis over Kansas

By midnight tomorrow night, we will know.
