El Pres "I never lose 8 in a row" Mortal Locks

Okay, so after losing two nail bitters yesterday, I'm on the threshold of doing the impossible. That's right 0-8 since the start of the Sweet 16. Now granted, I'm still 17-13 in the tournament, so if you took all of my picks from the beginning for a dime each you could still take the little lady to McDonalds for a fancy chicken McNuggets dinner so I'm not sure what all the bitching and moaning is all about. Sure, we had some tough breaks yesterday, but I say this 100% confidence. I've never lost 8 straight college hoop games in my life. So get jacked and pumped because here comes to blowout winners from the Pres. You can thank me tomorrow.

MSU vs Louisville -5.5 

I think Louisville wins this game. I think Michigan State keeps it close. Is this stupid? I mean if I think Louisville is going to win, should I assume they'll hit enough free throws down the stretch to cover? I don't know what to think anymore. Maybe this losing streak has gotten to my head after all. Don't think. Just throw. 

The Pick - MSU 

Oklahoma vs UNC -7

Finally a game that I love! I'm going to put everything that I've lost on the last 6 games on Oklahoma here. This is a flat out pickem for me. Blake Griffin is too strong, too physical, and too mean for a pussy ACC team like North Carolina. In fact, don't be surprised if Griffin actually dunks Tyler Hansbrough during the course of this game just to prove a point and Hansbrough gets called for a foul. Not only do I like OU to cover but I like them to win and join the rest of the Big East in the Final Four. And hopefully after this tournament is over the NCAA will take a long hard look at possibly stripping the ACC of their automatic bid to the conference tournament since clearly they don't deserve it. 

The Pick - OU
