    Why can't I ever bring myself to pick a 12-5 upset? Every single year it happens

    I picked Wichita State and Providence, but those were my only successful upset picks.

    Well that didn't work in my favor at all for Purdue. They pretty much just pooped all over themselves. My bracket doesn't look too bad other than those.

    I did one bracket by flipping a coin for each game and it picked the Yale, Little Rock, and Gonzaga upsets. It was my best bracket for a while but it has Cinci beating UNC in the championship so...

    I missed Arizona and Baylor... Had Arizona heading to the Elite 8. Not a bad start.

    How about the last few days!? I still have all the teams in the south and west, but my east and Midwest are garbage.

    I'm really surprised IU got past KY. KY was hitting on all cylinders but just couldn't hit a shot and IU matched up really well. I have UNC winning it all. As much as I want my bracket to do well, I'd rather see IU make it to the elite 8.

    John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.

    Russell Ziskey: Well I got the **** kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

    I think that UNI forgot fundamentals for the final minute of regulation against Texas A&M. Never pass to the corner on a full court press.

    All they had to do is make full court in bounds passes and it would not even matter what team got the ball. The clock would have been eaten up before A&M could have scored the final 10 points. It was something that every 7th grade basketball coach knows. The entire team and coaching staff went completely brain dead.

    ONce inbounded they'd been better off throwing ball blindly down court.

    With my CATS taking the tough loss to Indiana I've completely checked out and turned my focus back to bowhunting.. Haha let's be honest I never turned my attention away from it to begin with. Sometimes I say crazy things.
