I have been wanting to get this post out for a few weeks now but have been bogged with other posts that actually do relate to the overall theme of the blog.Any-who, lets talk some basketball.

Were now down to the Sweet 16…man do I love March Madness. Even though my Noles didn’t make the dance, I still enjoy watching each and every game. I’ll be the first to admit, my bracket is completely messed up. I went for the upsets in all four regions and the only team to standout so far is Villanova, so I’m routing for Jay Wright and his team to make the Elite 8, probably not going to happen though. Duke, our fellow ACC rival, donked out to West Virginia and I was slightly happy to see the Dukies go home crying once again. Maybe I’m sour that my team didn’t make it to the dance, oh well!

So we have 16, actually 12 since some teams played tonight. UCLA looked tough in the first half vs. WKU but looked sloppy in the 2nd half and I was amazed to see them catch up. The Tarheels blew out Washington State which isn’t a surprise to anyone if you have seen them and Hansborough play this season. North Carolina is actually my favorite to win it all and I am confident they will. Memphis always looks soft to me and I’m not sure why, I guess it’s because they play in Conference USA and that’s not even a major conference for basketball.

So Tennessee, WKU, West Virginia, and Wash. State are out with 4 more games to be played tomorrow.

Even though it’s a bit late for predictions, I’m sticking with UNC to win it all…who are you taking?
