'Horns: Final Four Material?

A lot of us are going to have to make some pretty big decisions Sunday evening.  Most of those head-scratchers will involve our NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket.

Perhaps the toughest question to answer for Austinites:  How far will the hometown 'Horns advance?  Most of us will confidently scrawl the 'Horns into our Sweet 16..  but then what?  Elite 8? Final 4? Title Game 2?

On one hand, I love UT's chances.  They have the nation's best point guard, play solid defense, and have plenty of scoring options.  On the other hand, they haven't looked "Final 4" worthy their last four times out (a loss in Lubbock, a nail-biter against Nebraska, and most recently,  two close wins against Oklahoma State).  The three aforementioned opponents are the 7-9 seeds in the Big 12... and each of them gave the 'Horns all they could handle.  And this is the UT bunch I'm gonna pick to win it all?

Fortunately, I have a couple more days to make up my mind.  

What do you bloggers think?

I don't think this team will win more than one game in the tournament. They are too inconsistent, too hot and cold, and will likely be the first big upset.

I forgot to ask you, did you pick the Horns to go to the Final Four?

Be sure to listen for "de la Pick'ems" on 101X FM (every Friday morning with hip DJs Jason and Deb). I'll also try to post my football picks here Friday afternoons... along with some random sports takes.
