NCAA Tournament update

Well, the NCAA Tournament is through its opening weekend. The "2nd and 3rd Rounds" were completed. They really just need to stop calling them that, it just confuses everybody. Only eight teams play before the so-called second round. Just call them the Round of 64 and Round of 32 if you don't want to offend the first eight teams (not the "First Four" as there are eight teams, unlike the Final Four, which only has four teams).

All these errors aside, it was an exciting weekend of basketball. I still think Kentucky is the favorite, although I'm hoping that somehow, someway they can be beat. North Carolina would have been my front-runner until Kendall Marshall got injured Sunday against Creighton. So, my thought is that Ohio State and Michigan State probably have the best chance at it of the teams remaining. Florida has also played very impressively so far, but I'm not sure if they can keep it up. We'll see, stayed tuned this weekend as the Sweet Sixteen gets trimmed down to the Final Four.

Final Four on Saturday

The Final Four gets under way on Saturday at 4 p.m. MT on CBS with (8) Butler vs. (11) VCU in one of the more improbable match-ups ever. It's the one I'm the most excited to see of the two. VCU is playing lights out and I don't know that I see them losing. It should be a good one, though. In the other match-up, it's (3) Connecticut vs. (4) Kentucky. I'll take Kentucky in that one as they have the deeper roster. And then I'll take VCU over Kentucky in the title game on Monday as the Rams have all the momentum in the world right now. I'm excited to check it all out.
