As we continue on here is my breakdown of the East......
Although every game in this bracket is a game to watch, a few stand out. Texas v. Wake, Temple v. Cornell, Marquette v. Washington, and Clemson v. Mizz all seem like tasty treats. Texas, who has played sub par all season, seems like that "they should be better than they are" team, ala Michigan St. last year, that just turns it on in the dance and rides that momentum to the title game. Many say VT should have made it over Wake. I agree. Because of this Texas handles this ACC lightweight easily before succumbing to a championship ready Kentucky squad. PPatt and Cousins are just too much for Pittman's whiny antics. When we pass them, we then face either Temple(my pick) or Cornell(the analysts "sexy" pick). This could be a huge upset for Cornell. They can shoot and play extremely well-executed basketball. But Temple has big guns who have played well all season. Close game early, but the Owls pull it out late. Then, I don't seem them advancing past Trevon Hughes and Wisconsin. This is a team that plays so slow it could hurt UK. Next up is speedy Marquette at U-Dub. Many people are picking Marquette to make an extended run. Yeah, really? Well I heard that as well during the Big East tournament. They are good, but please do not sleep on Isiah Thomas(not the coach) and the Huskies. I had them on upset alert last year, and these guys are only more experienced with another year under their belts. Although should Marquette advance, it won't get past my Wildcats. Why? Because there is no unknown powerhouse of a guard generating the first triple double I have ever seen in the dance, let alone college, by the name of Dwayne Wade playing for them, that's why. I still pick Marquette over UW, but barely. Lastly, I agree Da'Sean Butler is a beast. I did witness his complete dominance over the comp in the Big East tourney, but Clemson and Missouri look like they types of teams that show up every year and you ask yourself "Who are these guys?". A sweet 16 appearance later and you realize just why they are so good. They are a team in every since of the word and play with heart. Plus, having big talent doesn't hurt. I wouldn't compare them to Mason of a few years back, but watch out for these two. Or Butler will just dice them for like 25 and WVU waits to play Marquette.
Final Four: Kentucky
On to the South.....
I just want to start this off with a reminder of the B.S. that goes on in college basketball. Thank you jackass committee members for giving Kentucky by far the hardest bracket on the road to the championship. Less, Morgan St. (Who dominated the MEAC), Montana(Who erased a 20 point halftime deficit to win their conference title), and maybe Wofford(Who was good enough to merit a 13 seed), any team could beat us. And what do the assholes give bitch ass Duke!!! The play-in game! I hope they lose to APB. Jerks. OK, I'm good now.
Not much to add here that wasn't just covered, but a few games do stand out. The best game of this bracket is going to be over early in coverage as Cal takes on Louisville. I can't just give this to Louisville. I know Pitino always has them ready, but I don't trust the inconsistency of Sosa. I do give the Cards the edge though because California just lost a big time player inside and that could be the difference. Next up is my upset city alert team as Siena will beat a demoralized Purdue team, as well as take out A&M on their way to the Sweet 16. This team, I just like. I hear about them in the Dance every year and this just seems like the time where they really push. Call me crazy, but this is my team. Now simply for shits and giggles, you know I picked ODU over Notre Dame. I don't trust the Irish basketball team in big games like I don't trust their football team. Boo, Harangody! Watch out for that locomotive known as Gerald Lee baby! Go Monarchs.
Final Four: Duke (just because I want the chance to see them get waxed by Kentucky)
I also must add a quick comment on Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington dabbling with the white devil. LOLOLOL, love it. That is all.
See you tomorrow.
