Let the madness begin.
We are less than 24 hours away from the opening round of the NCAA tournament and there is more anticipation than the first Bingo Call in Boca Raton on a Friday night (4pm).
This year is unlike any other year, that statement is thrown around every year, but it is true. All 4 number ones have a shot at winning it all. It has been 3 consecutive years with a 1 seed winning it all and the top seeds are looking to make it a quad. But like every march Cinderella is just around the corner looking to make an appearance. With a weak at large field in play Cinderella might be having an early night.
There are some great early round matchups that should be fun to watch.
Cornell vs. Temple in the opening round will feel more like an Elite 8 game. Clemson and their press vs. Mizzou and their ‘Forty Minutes of Hell’ should be a game where line changes will be plentiful. And many, many more.
But the real question is who is gonna win it all?
Watch out for Cornell or Temple, whoever wins that game to make a run. New Mexico is getting no love although they won the regular and post season MWC titles, they could make a run. Evan Turner had a broken back but could break some hearts this march as well. Boehiem’s 2-3 can slow down even the best, so don’t sleep on them. And Calipari and his All-Star All-Freshman team has zero experience but talent galore.
(Kansas over West Virginia, with Kansas St and Duke rounding out the final four)
Hey Pure Man
ReplyDeleteThat Bingo call in Raton, NM, even if it is at night (at 4pm), might be your college fund, so don't knock it too bad.
Good to read your work. Sounds good!
What's up doc,
ReplyDeleteI like your take on the Madness. But you didn't give any love to my squad the boilermakers. It's no surprise that anyone who can put pen to paper has equal opportunity at turning out a successful bracket. Some do their homework, others look at historical trends. Why not pick the team with the best paint job on their home hardwood?? I'm taking Purdue from their spot on the number 4 branch. Tell me doc, what's my sickness?
Sincerely,
