NCAA March Madness bracket thoughts

John Berger

The official March Madness bracket was released on Sunday night. Now that we know the tournament field, it’s time to predict the matchups. But first, here are a few thoughts on the bracket:

The committee did a really good job this year, all things considered. The most questionable inclusion into the tournament is Iona, a team that most people had written off after they lost to the Fairfield Stags in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament. Iona will play on Tuesday against BYU. Teams like Seton Hall and Drexel have legitimate gripes with Iona being chosen over them.

I must admit, I’m a little upset about this Super Bowl. I was rooting hard for the Ravens and 49ers, because, anything would’ve been better than another Giants-Patriots Super Bowl.

It’s just that unless it’s my favorite team, the Packers, I’m generally adverse to teams winning two or more Super Bowls in a short time period.
