Let's break down the final game:

In the I TOLD YOU SO category: No 'scuse - Carmelo to rule, and Syracuse to win, 80-75.  The actual final was 81-78. In other Final Four action, the "Frozen Four" for NCAA Hockey has been set.  The STPA Conference (Schools That Popolo Attended) continues its college hockey dominance over Boston College, this time with Cornell handing BC a crushing double-overtime defeat down at the Dunk in Providence.  The Michigan Wolverines (11-time National Champions) as expected will be appearing in their third consecutive Frozen Four by soundly trashing #1 seed Colorado College.  The two other teams appearing in the Frozen Four will be UNH and last year's champ Minnesota, but can these two imposters overcome the force and psychological dominance of the STPA Conference?  Maybe when pigs eat my brother.  But we'll find out on April 10.  The prediction here is that Cornell and Michigan will share the championship trophy by tying 5-5 in the championship game after 16 overtime periods.
