Madness…..Not so much

Every man has it in his DNA…..Towards the end of Feburary and the beginning of March…..when you long to hear the soulful voice of Mr Gus Johnson. When you try to turn ten lousy bucks into a couple hundred, and at the same time make rick ,your office rival look like a huge tool with your Cleveland State pick. For the second straight year this glorious event we know as the NCAA tournement has become a simple chalk event. Last year all four number one seeds made it through to San Antonio and we had an epic championship game between Memphis and Kansas. The opening week of this years tournement shows this to be a growing trend. Is is possible that the NCAA selection committee is actually getting it right for once. Two number one seeds looked impressive in opening two rounds….North Carolina had one bad half before guard Ty Lawson took over…..Uconn was barely touched in the first two rounds…..Louisville and Pitt survived second round upsets by Oklahoma State and Sienna to move on . So now we move on to the sweet sixteen with the most 1-4 seeds alive in a long time…..heres the weekends best.

Best Game-(Round of 16)
Tie…..Michigan state vs Kansas….KU’s youth and talent vs a Senior laden Spartans team

Oklahoma vs Syracuse……Blake Griffin vs the Cuse zone…..will OU’s guards show up?

Upset Alert…..UNC vs Gonzaga
Xavier vs Pitt…..no explanation I just
smell the upset here

Worse game…..Arizona vs Louisville….the Cats run
of low seeds ends here

Look for continuing coverage through the weekend on gaymariotti.com…..or you can just watch ESPN and see them talk about Obamas bracket for the 200th time
