NCAA tourney thoughts...
Well, the first weekend is over and I'm still alive in my pool. I did lose a final 4 pick(damn you George Mason) and I missed an upset that I of all people should've predicted(Bradley in the Sweet 16, why not). Now to reset here is what I think will happen from here on out. Out of the Atlanta bracket, I like Duke. They are strong, talented ,and they've been here before so they're confident. In Oakland, I'll take UCLA, they are playing well, they play defense, and I just don't feel confident about Memphis. In our nation's capital, UConn has probably the easiest path to the final 4 as no one higher than a 5 seed remains in their bracket. And finally as much as it pains me to say I'll take Florida out of the Minneapolis bracket. Depth, talent, and big people that Villanova probably can't match.
