The NCAA Tournament
March 20th, 2008 | by Tom |Well its that time of year again. Im at the point now and i dont think that Im alone, where i dont really care about the games or who wins and loses. the only winning and losing I care about is whether or not I win or lose a bracket pool im in with about thirty friends of mine. I decided to do two brackets this year which means im out 20 bones instead of just 10.
In my first bracket, which Im calling my ‘Heart’ bracket, my Final Four is Louisville, Wisconsin, Memphis, and Xavier with Louisville beating Memphis to win the National Championship. Every year i pick Louisville, Wisconsin and Xavier to do well and they never do. My problem is that they are all relatively good every year and enter the tourny with pretty respectable seedings. I dont think im really going out on a limb with any of these picks but every-time Louisville and Wisconsin go out in the second round I am forced to acknowledge that my heart doesnt know s#!t about basketball.
In my second bracket, my ‘Head’ bracket, my Final Four is more in line with the predictions of the analysts and Sports Center thugs: North Carolina, Georgetown, Texas and UCLA, with North Carolina beating UCLA in the finals. I have no feelings for any of these teams or these picks but i think that if i have chance to win this pool its going to be through this bracket.
Whatever, as long as i gets me the money.
Viva La Basketball!
