NCAA March Madness Part II

By now, you are probably in the same position as I am. In other words, your bracket probably has been busted.

I had a very good opening session on Thursday. I only missed one game. But then, I started missing left and right. South Dakota State lost to Baylor. VCU beat Wichita State. UNLV lost to Colorado. And so on and so forth.

I don’t want my bracketing mishaps to take away from a very good first weekend of games. Friday was particularly crazy, with two 15 or 2 seed upsets.

NCAA March Madness bracket thoughts

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.
