    My tradition of picking Gonzaga to win every year suddenly doesn't seems so silly.

    At least I don't have to worry about picking Baylor this year.

    Probably going to go chalk and choose Louisville.

    I cannot wait to see Duke lose.

    Then again im picking Gonzaga all the way out of sheer school loyalty. Its also odd to root for Saint Marys and SDS.

    BREAKING NEWS!

    The ACC tournament did not make me feel hopeful for the tourney but I gotta remember that Duke has played seriously well just about any other time while at full strength. Sulaimon needs to get out of his shooting slump and Plumlee needs to get aggressive.

    Just don't get too cute with the Cinderella teams and you'll do fine. I'd say anyone on the top two lines could win this year, it seems pretty wide open.

    Pick Boise to win it all. Even if you'll probably lose your money, you'll still feel good inside. And really, that's all that matters in March.

    Went with Louisville over Indiana, only picked two or three upsets.

    I'll be satisfied if I do better than I did last year.

    Allow me to pre-emptively complain that our new national champion totally would've lost if it weren't for that one lucky break.

    And my bracket would have also been perfect if not for those 23 unlucky breaks (one of my elite eight teams losing in the first round only counts as 1)

    For those of you who can't get enough madness there's also a Yahoo bracket:

    If that link doesn't work, the group number is 81091 and the password is wang.

    Which is set up to allow two bracket entries per person. Let your homerism run rampant!

    I came up with Duke vs. Indiana.

    I hope I'm wrong because that's a title game I won't even bother watching.

    Louisville vs. Indiana

    Although I'm tempted to say fuck it and put VCU all the way into the title game. I have them beating Kansas and Georgetown in my money league (which means if I don't change my mind I'm probably losing my money league).
