MARCH MADNESS MIDWEST Region Picks....can ROY WILLIAMS lead the FRANKLIN STREET Posse to another MARDI GRAS...TARHEEL BLUE Style?

The FAVORITE from Day 1 and I do not care how you slice it. When the TAR HEELS announced that both HENSON and BARNES would be joining ZELLER for another season Coach Roy WILLIAMS knew he had the making of a SPECIAL TEAM again. This isn't Arie SPEARS talking...WHAT IS A SPECIAL PLACE...but the TAR HEELS when going on ALL cylinders are as good as anyone.

The rest of the BRACKET of course has those ROCK CHALK JayHawk FOOLS drooling at the potential matchup they may have with the TAR HEELS if they win out. ALABAMA could pose a problem for the HEELS in the 2nd Round as they have a really nice cohesive bunch under the direction of one of the best young coaches in AMERICA...Anthony GRANT.

The game that sticks out the most is the AZTECS vs WOLFPACK game that has Coach Mike GOTTFRIED who took UNC to the edge in the ACC Tourney and the NOBLE One in Steve FISHER who carries a heavy roster full of LA AREA HOOPERS and they can play after losing their TOP 4 Players from last season.

Watch a PLAYER in this bracket very few know but the BLUEDUDE will let you in on him. Detroit MERCY POINT GUARD Ray McCALLUM JR, whose DAD is the coach at UDM, was a BIG MAC in 2012 and wanted by the likes of IZZONE and the BILLY D in the SWAMP. This young man could be a problem for the JAYHAWKS by his lonesome if the KANSAS Bunch is looking ahead.
