Let's Go Nova tournament contest

With March madness just a few weeks away, it's time to start thinking about brackets and seeds.

Enter Let's Go Nova's 2009 college basketball championship prediction contest for your chance to win our grand prize, two pieces of Villanova basketball post-season memorabilia.

All you have to do is leave a comment in this post, and be the closest to predict the final four teams in the tournament, the national champion, and the national runner up.

Leave a comment to enter. Please use the following format in your comment:

UNC
UCLA

Uconn over UCLA.

You must submit your guess before March 1, so you must also factor into your guess which teams will be in which brackets.

Want to pick Villanova to win it all -- go ahead. Keep in mind, though, that the BetUS sportsbook lists the Wildcats as a 35-1 underdog to cut down the nets.

Prize

• GRAND PRIZE: (1) 2007-2008 Villanova basketball post-season folder and (1) ticket stub, Villanova vs. Monmouth, round one of the 2006 NCAA tournament, Philadelphia.

Rules

1. No purchase necessary.


2. All decisions by Let's Go Nova regarding the outcome of the game shall be final.


3. The reader with the most total points as follows wins the grand prize:


• Correct final 4 teams = 2 pts. each


• Correct final 2 teams = 4 pts. each


• Correct national champion = 8 pts.


4. All ties broken by date and time submitted, earliest first. This means you cannot win if you submit the same entry as someone before you!

Let's Go Nova is obviously not affiliated with either the NCAA or Villanova University, and the pieces of memorabilia come from my personal collection.

Good luck, and Let's Go Nova.
