49 games later and i'm definitely ready for a break. cbs basically screwed me by allowing one to live stream every tournament game. so i spent the past 4 days with the tv on whatever game was being covered and propped my computer up and had another game going full screen. it would get a little frustrating as cbs was constantly switching games as both the tennessee-butler and georgetown-davidson games came down to the wire today.
so lets recap, and briefly, look ahead...
my bracket is not totally garbage right now. 10 of my sweet 16 are still alive, and 7 of my elite 8 are still going strong. i decided early on that i liked usc to make a run in the tournament and have been playing catch-up since thursday. stanford tried to give me a heart attack, as i have them in the final four.
some pretty incredible games, as is always the case. the best game of the first round had to be drake-western kentucky. they just went back and forth nailing 3's all game. too bad i picked on the wrong side of that matchup. in the second round, the stanford-marquette game was insane, as i thought i was done after the head coach got run.
i'm totally in love with davidson right now. in fact, in my practice bracket i had davidson beating georgetown, but changed at the last minute. i remember when then freshman curry almost upset maryland (just had to look up the opponent) last year. they also played duke and north carolina earlier this year, and played them tough. curry, who looks 12, has got serious ice in his veins. i can't stand wisconsin, so i'll be pulling hard for davidson next week.
looking ahead...texas-stanford is huge for me. a lot of people are picking texas, but if stanford can pull it off i'll be in great shape. i don't think memphis makes the final four with their TERRIBLE free throw shooting. things look pretty good for ucla and kansas. louisville has looked incredible in their first two games. i think they might take down tennessee. hopefully someone gives carolina a game.
thankfully, games won't start at noon anymore. so i've got to crank out some serious work over the next couple weeks in preparation for the FROZEN FOUR!

it was a great weekend of games, and let me tell ya, by not having a bracket anywhere, i did not fret over any of the games, and just had a blast watching all of them!
How come you didn't get into Mike and Jeff's blog game? It's been fun even for those of us who really don't know what they are doing. I'm for UNC or Kansas. Unfortunately, in my bracket they are playing each other in the semifinals--but, I do have two brackets--one wins in one, the other in the other! Hope your studies are going well.
Colin's bracket has taken a beating. It is getting more and more ugly by the day. It sure is fun to see underdogs win though. This has been an exciting tourny so far.... can't wait to see what is to come.
