My prediction juggernaut rolled on with a perfect Elite eight:

  • 10-6 on day two
  • 14-2 in the Round of 32
  • 7-1 for the Sweet Sixteen
  • 4-0 for the Elite Eight
  • 51-9 overall

Memphis has improved their power rankings to almost draw dead even with UCLA. I have the Bruins as a slight favorite over Memphis.
