My Pick for the 2009 NCAA Tournament: Memphis Tigers

It's March Madness time! The NCAAs are upon us and many of you hopefully have your brackets filled out.

I had the pleasure of attending an University of Memphis Executive Education for the Global Leader course back in September 2006 in St. Louis, MO. It was a collaboration between FedEx Human Resource Development Department and the Wang Center of International Business at The University of Memphis.

So, here's my final pick for 2009:

The University of Memphis Tigers

Other Final Four teams:

UNC, Louisville and Villanova

My alma mater, Creighton University was a final bubble team this year. They will play in the second round of the NIT vs. the University of Kentucky on Monday night. Not quite the same.

The University of Iowa, Iowa State University and Drake University all came up short this year.

We do want to wish our daughter's school the very best in the NCAA Tournament. The University of Northern Iowa Panthers will face the Purdue Boilermakers in Portland, OR today. The Panthers will carry the torch for the MVC this season.
