Bracketology

Hey Sports Nation,

Did you watch the tournament this weekend?! It was crazy...who would have guessed that Arizona is in the Sweet 16, the only double digit team (12). Teams that killed me: Wake Forest losing to Cleveland State (I had them in the Sweet 16) and Florida State losing to Wisconsin (I had them in the Sweet 16 too). Also, to all you that think I hate UConn, I don't. I am a UConn fan, just not a big Hasheem Thabeet fan. How is your bracket looking? All my Elite 8 teams are still in it and I have 14/16 teams still in the Sweet 16 (don't have Arizona or Xavier).

If anyone follows the Womens Tournament, Tennessee lost for the first time in school history in the first round of the tournament. It was a devastating lost for coach Pat Summit, who I think is an incredible coach.

In other news, Japan beat Korea 5-3 in the 10th inning in the World Baseball Classic at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Ichiro Suzuki played great throughout the whole tournament.

Also, how do you think the Jay Cutler situation well end up in Denver? I think he is going to stay with the team, however, there are many other teams interested in trading for him, but new coach Josh McDaniels stated that Jay is their quarterback.

My Sixers keep rolling...huge wins against the Kings and Trailblazers the past 2 nights...T'Wolves tomorrow night!

That's it for now...I hope Dawkins is liking it in Denver and Lito is liking it in NY. My 2 favorites from the Eagles are no longer...I really hope Reid, Banner, management know what they're doing...

March Madness!

Hey Guys,

Selection Sunday!!! As you know (or you should know), the bracketologists finalized the bracket for the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I really thought Memphis was going to get the last number 1 seed, instead of Connecticut...but they'll beat them in the Elite 8 anyway. I'm also a little ticked that St. Mary's didn't make the tournament...Patty Mills is back and I think they would have been a good sleeper team to pick. Davidson is just upsetting this season too...

I'm not a fan of Hasheem Thabeet for some reason. I don't think he's that good for being 7'3...he's not as good as Yao Ming and NBAdraft.net compares him to Dikembe Mutombo.

Here's a printable bracket for all of you that are looking for one:

My roommates and I do a bracket every year and this year should be another good one. Of course this time, I'm winning.

I'm calling it right now...UNC is going all the way. Mark my word.

(Obama's on their side too!)



















Enjoy March and I'll keep you updated with the Madness!
