March Madness

This is my favorite time of the year. To start the tournament we have four straight days of the best basketball teams in the country striving to advance while smalls schools, such as Robert Morris(i went there), are happy that they are dancing and are leaving everything they have on the court just for that one chance to be remembered. Look at the past memories we have from schools such as George Mason, Valparaiso, Western Kentucky, Coppin St., and Weber St. Now that the field is set lets break it down and I will show you who will win it all this year and which small schools have what it takes to pull off an upset or two.


MIDWEST

1st Round
#1 LOUISVILLE(28-5) .VS. #16 ALABAMA ST.(22-9)/MOREHEAD ST.(19-15)

Congratulations Alabama St./Morehead St the winner of your meaningless game gets to lose by 20, at least, to Louisville. Just for the record I hope Morehead St. is victourius in the play in game. If you are a man how do you not root for them?? Louisville is the pick.

#8 OHIO ST(22-10) .VS. #9 SIENA(26-7)

This is a very interesting matchup. Ohio St. comes in on little bit of a high advancing to the finals of the very strong Big Ten Championship. Siena dominated their conference tournament and has a knack for playing up to the competition. Just think Ohio St is too hot right now. This is hard to say but Ohio St. is the pick.

#5 UTAH(24-9) .VS. #12 ARIZONA(19-13)

What has the committee done here. They rewarded Utah with a number 5 seed only to have them play Arizona in the first round. Congratulations on your one and done Utah. Utah will have no answer for Mr. Jordan Hill. Mormons can't win a National Championship anyway. Might as well lose now. Arizona is the pick.

#4 WAKE FOREST(24-6) .VS. #13 CLEVELAND ST.(25-10)

This game may come down to which Wake Forest team decides to show. Is the team that beat North Carolina and Duke going to show or the team that lost to Georgia Tech and N.C. St.. Dont overlook Cleveland St.. Not quite sure how they recieved a #13 seed while Butler recieved a #9. In my opionion those two are evenly matched. Butler won the season series 2-1. Both wins by 2 pts. Cleveland St has wins against Butler and Syracuse this year. After all that Wake Forest is too strong and is the pick.

#6 WEST VIRGINIA(23-11) .VS. #11 DAYTON(26-7)

This game will come down to the wire. Teams are evenly matched. They both played Duquesne and Marquette this year. WVU beat Duquesne and lost to Marquette while Dayton went 2-1 against Duquesne and actually beat a heathly Marquette team. With that being said the imbreeds of WVU are still from the Big East and they are my pick. FYI, there are more students then teeth in a classroom at WVU.

#3 KANSAS(25-7) .VS. #14 NORTH DAKOTA ST.(26-6)

This may end up being a close game. North Dakota St has played 2 larger schools this year falling 90-76 at Minnesota and 61-57 at USC. They can play with larger schools and, in my opinion, Kansas is the most overrated team in the country. They are still young and make plenty of mistakes. Kansas is still my pick but in a very unexpected close game. 91-86.

#7 BOSTON COLLEGE(22-11) .VS. #10 USC (21-12)

This matchup looks very good on paper but dont let it fool you. BC is the far better team. Take a look at each sides worst two losses and best 2 wins. First Boston College. Losses to Saint Louis(18-14) out of the A10 and Harvard(14-14) out of the Ivy league. Best wins for B.C. are Duke and @North Carolina. Now for USC. Losses to Seton Hall(17-15) out of the Big East and Oregon St.(13-17) out of their own conference. Wins are UCLA and Arizona St twice. Now that you have seen those stats throw them out the window. USC is hot and BC is incosistent. USC is the pick.

#2 MICHIGAN ST(26-6) .VS. #15 ROBERT MORRIS COLONIALS

Wish I could say Robert Morris had any chance at all. They dont. Michigan St. is the pick. Committee can go fuck themselves on this one. Why not a 14 seed so they can play the most verrated team in the country Kansas.

2nd Round

#1 LOUISVILLE .VS. #8 OHIO ST.

Ohio St. does not have the athletes to keep up. Louisville is the pick and I hate fucking Ohio St.. Whining little babies.

#12 ARIZONA .VS. #4 WAKE FOREST

This is a game that can go either way. Whoever has the ball last will win? My prediction is Arizona in an upset. Wake Forest can't win two games in a row against non-ranked teams.

#6 WEST VIRGINIA .VS. #3 KANSAS

The imbreeds vs the most overrated team. Kansas gets scared of the toothless wonders and quits at half. WVU in a forfeit.

#10 USC .VS. #2 MICHIGAN ST.

Tim Floyd has his team ready to play but Michigan St. has too much. Michigan St. is my pick.

Sweet Sixteen

#1 LOUISVILLE .VS. #12 ARIZONA

Arizona you gave it a good run but Louisville is just way too much. Louisville is the pick.

#6 WEST VIRGINIA .VS. #2 MICHIGAN ST.

Another game in this bracket that comes down to the wire. The big ugly Goran Suton will block the balding Alex Ruoff's jumper at the buzzer to preserve a 71-70 game. Michigan St. is the pick and WVU goes back to kissing their sister.

Elite Eight

#1 LOUISVILLE .VS. #2 MICHIGAN ST.

The committee got this one right. #1 versus #2. This one will be decided by defense in the second half. Can Michigan St. handle the full court pressure? Can they make enough shots to remain in the game? Can they use their bigs to slow the game down? My guess is NO!!! Louisville marches onto the Final Four.

Stay tuned for more to come.................the West is next.
