Unless you're able to see the future or lying, you're probably like me and out of a March Madness tourney pool. Yeah there can only be 1 winner in a pool, but hey it's only been 3 days into the tournament!!!!!!! I'd feel better if it was Next sunday and be eliminated!!!!
This tourney has been different then any in the past....Sure, every year there's at least 1 upset or at the least a couple of games won by a lower seed over a higher, but after 3 days this year we've seen a decade of games won by low seeds. Case in point:
#9 Texas over #8 Wake Forest
#11 Washington beat #6 Marquette
#10 Mizzou over #7 Clemson
#11 Old Dominion over #6 Notre Dame Irish
#10 St Mary's over #7 Richmond AND #2 Villanova!
# 13 Murray St over #4 Vanderbilt
#10 Georgia Tech over #7 Oklahoma St.
#14 Ohio upset #3 Georgetown
#9 N. Iowa over #8 UNLV THEN THE PANTHERS TOOK OUT OVERALL #1 Kansas Jayhawks!
The pool I'm in has 17 people participating. Out of that 11 had Kansas winning it all!!!!!!
The so-called experts kept saying this year's "At Large" teams were the weakest group in history...O really???
Now I'm still not ready to annoint St Mary's, et al as the champ cuz we still have Syracuse, Kentucky, and Ohio State still left. (Course that could change by tonight) One of these or another large school team will probably win it all, but are you confident right now to say who?
I think this just goes to show that fielding a competitive BBall team is easier on the college level than a football or baseball team. You only need 5 level 1 to 2 players and at least 2 serviceable players off the bench. Sure, if Kansas plays N. Iowa 10 times Kansas probably wins at least 8 out of 10, but as the saying goes "any team can beat any other team on any given day"
Thanks for the donation.....

I was one of those that thought Kansas was the most sound team. Just goes to show what a bunch of goofy white boys can do when they put their minds to it.
ReplyDeleteSide note Texas was the 8 seed.
