OK, so my team crashed and burned.
I admit, that I have quite a bit of UK bias. However, nobody was playing better than Kentucky coming into the tournament. The Florida A&M game was alarming, however. Kentucky didn't show their true game. In addition to not half playing, they ran up and down the court like Olympic sprinters. Being the thin benched team that they are, this drained them for the game against UAB. The Blazers took full advantage, but I digress. Good luck to UAB for the rest of the way.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. *wink*

Well, it's finally here. The NCAA tournament begins Tuesday night on ESPN when Lehigh meets FAMU. The winner of that game will face the tournament's top seed, Kentucky. No number 16 seed has ever beaten a one seed, and I don't believe that will take place Friday, in this game either.
Well, moving along, I am going to go through the brackets and pick my Sweet 16. If you disagree with my picks, just drop me a line in my email, or leave it in the guestbook. Here goes!
