And here we are. March Madness is upon us! I told you I'd wait till after Selection Sunday to give my 2 cents. I was kinda shocked by a few teams who made it/didn't make it. There was a HUGE set of bubble teams this year. Syracuse didn't make it in after a few of those buzzer beater top 10 wins. Illinois State also didn't make it in this year. A 27-6 record is pretty impressive. Illinois also got snubbed this season. They had some decent wins against decent teams but apparently the NCAA selection committee doesn't settle for decent.
Early this week on Twitter, I mentioned a March Madness comeback of FGCU again! Man, they are fun to watch. I have them upsetting FSU first round, I know I know, chances are slim but I love their passion for the game.
I always have a hard time letting all top 1 seeds into my Final Four but somehow a few of them sneak in. I have Villinova going all the way. Doesn't mean I want them to win. I'd love to see an underdog, like a 3 or 5 or 5 seed make it to the championship. But on paper, I gotta do what seems right. Ha-ha this sounds like I'm writing my will.
Here are a few screen shots of my 2017 Bracket -
I gave a few teams a run at the second round... like I said already FCGU, Xavier, Seton Hall, URI, Marquette...
Looking forward to a basketball filled weekend. Hoping all the people in New England are surviving the snow and ice. There are a few games in Buff NY, hoping they are all on schedule (and everyone gets there safe).
Follow me on Twitter for more bracket news. Bring on the bracket busters baby!
And if you are not pumped enough... here is the CBS March Madness Video -
