So for those who don’t know, my brackets
completely fell apart last weekend. In case you’re curious, these are my
picks:
Elite 8 - KU vs. G’Town, Texas vs.
Pittsburgh, UCLA vs. Duke, and UNC vs. Tennessee
Final 4 - KU vs. UNC and Pittsburgh vs. UCLA
Championship - KU over Pittsburgh
In one bracket, I have Xavier taking Duke’s
place in the Elite 8, and then taking UCLA’s place in the Final 4. And
Louisville in Tennessee’s place in the Final 4.
Fairly straightforward. A few upsets, but
nothing too dramatic or far-fetched.
But obviously, I’m not doing well at all. The
upsets that happened really hurt me...the upsets that DIDN’T happen equally
#### me. But here’s the thing...
After the games last weekend, of course I
checked my standings. In one of the pools I’m in, the guy who’s in the lead actually
had a near perfect bracket thus far. I kid you not. Tell me something.
Does that make him incredibly SMART or incredibly STUPID? I mean, who in their
RIGHT MIND picks San Diego over UConn, WKY over Drake and Davidson over
Georgetown?? I don’t get it. On the other hand, he’s winning, and has a
pretty firm grasp on that 1st place spot, in a pretty gigantic pool. So again,
my question to you is this:
Does this guy know something we don’t? Is he
on a completely different level when it
comes to knowing his NCAA b-ball? Or is he clueless? Did he just fill out a
bracket randomly, having never watched a game...maybe using the coin-flip
method?
Hey, it’s March Madness...anything can
(and does) happen: Top-seeded teams can be upset in rounds one or two,
bottom-seeds can find themselves in the Final Four...But if you ask me, at the
end of the day, the only REAL madness can be found in the mind of the guy (or
girl) who filled out the winning bracket.
