March Madness, Baby!

Ah, here we are. March first. One of the busiest months for sports but more importantly the start of bracket talk for the NCAA basketball teams.

My favorite part about March Madness is that people who don't really know a lick of sports get pretty into it. People in the office are talking about their hometown or college team(s). The last few games of the season feel like do or die despite being top of your league. Anything is possible! This weekend proved it.

Gonzaga, #1 seed, was UPSET by BYU! I love a good upset, I actually find myself cheering for them more times than not.

To make it even better, Gonzaga was undefeated don't forget. I just think it's near impossible to go undefeated in college basketball these days. Every team seems to be good and really anything can happen when you play at home in front of your own crowd. Just look at Duke, UNC, Syracuse, Villanova, Georgetown...

Anyway, with a minute left in the game BYU scored a bucket to be up 2. Then Zaga shut down. Turned the ball over twice, Corbin Kaufusi scored for another 2 and then BYU's game star Eric Mika put in 2 foul shots to seal the deal. Love it, it really doesn't get any better!!

Mika also won player of the week this week. Kudos, bro!

Duke also lost this weekend (hard to argue with that, lol). I definitely don't see them anywhere near a number 1 seed this tourney, probably more like a 3. 

I hate to make guesses on who's in, who's out so I'll wait to weigh in on the bracket once Selection Sunday happens. We still have a good week of basketball left. 

To keep up with this weeks games and happenings, I'll be my twitter!
