Good Day on the Dance Floor
Out of 16 games today, my teams went 13-3, and I predicted upsets of UAB over LSU and Nevada over Texas (is 9 over 8 really an upset?). Unfortunately I also lost two of my Sweet 16 teams (Alabama, which lost to UW-Milwaukee, and Creighton, which lost to West Virginia). I am upset about both of these, the first one because I was VERY VERY tempted to pick UW-Milwaukee, but did not quite feel it (sometimes you have to go against the popular pick for an upset) and the second because Creighton collapsed in the last 20 seconds. They had the ball, tie game, 18 seconds left, 12 seconds on the shot clock and could not move the ball forward or even set up for a reasonable shot. Their star (Nate Funk) airmailed it, which a West Virginia player caught and tossed it down to one of two players on a fast break (a two-on-one). They dunked it with 3 seconds left and that was it. I guess all of the upsets I picked are in tomorrow's games. For comparisons sake, Richard is only down Texas, Alabama, and UCLA, one of which he had in the Sweet 16. I would have linked to my listed bracket, but the link is not working for whatever reason. Just go to my old blog and scroll down a bit if you actually care.
