Signs of Life

Out of eight total games and out of six games I could have possibly won in the past two days, I won all six. I don't want to jinx myself but I'm definitely going to win this thing.

On a side note, watching Duke and Memphis lose at the same time was the most satisfying part of this tournament and will make it memorable even if I don't complete my monumental comeback.

Midwest

1 Louisville over 6 West Virginia (2 Michigan State)

This is the round I finally stop hemorrhaging points due to that West Virginia pick. Louisville looked pretty good last night and is playing against a team I picked to lose in the second round. That's pretty much all I can ask for.

West

3 Missouri over 1 Connecticut

Uconn looks as good as anybody in this tournament so this one worries me enough. I'm banking on Mizzou getting Thabeet in foul trouble and hopefully scoring enough points in the paint while Thabeet is still on the other side of the floor. If Mizzou wins this game, it's going to be really hard to root for them against Louisville considering how much they've done for me.

East

1 Pittsburgh over 3 Villanova

I don't know what Pitt is doing in this tourney, but I still like them. Playing Pitt just seems like it wouldn't be fun at all. Everyone on that team is a fat guy. I feel oddly comfortable about this one.

You know what? Watch out for the Pitt blow out. Gut feeling.

South

2 Oklahoma over 1 North Carolina

If this follows Buddies' Design, it will be the final embarrassment for Tyler Hansbrough. I don't hate Psycho-T, for the record. I appreciate the way he hustles. I do however, hate the way he plays and think he will be an utterly useless pro. UNC might win this game, but if anyone is pretending the match up between Hansbrough and Blake Griffin is anything close to a wash is confused.
