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.

Unprofessional media; Sweet 16 gets under way tonight
Some really ridiculous questions were asked at Wednesday's press conference in New Orleans, regarding BYU's honor code, etc. Gary Parrish has some nice thoughts on it. It really is rather ridiculous that the journalists asking these questions are considered professionals. Again, even though I'm not a BYU fan, it makes me very happy to be LDS when I know the school that my church sponsors is willing to stick by its values. And major props to Florida star Chandler Parsons for not taking the bait from the media when asked about the situation.
The Sweet Sixteen gets under way tonight on CBS and TBS. In Anaheim we have (2) San Diego State vs. (3) Connecticut in the early game and (1) Duke vs. (5) Arizona in the night cap. In New Orleans it's (2) Florida vs. (3) BYU in the early game and (4) Wisconsin vs. (8) Butler in the night cap. I anticipate all being good games and I'm excited to see how they turn out. The two early games in particular I anticipate being very close and very exciting all the way down to the closing minutes. In the Florida-BYU game I really don't have a good feel on who will win, so I'll just have to watch and find out.
