So what if we already had the play-i…er, “opening round” game, and Florida A&M is the first of 64 teams invited to the Big Dance to end their season with a loss. The NCAA tournament starts in, oh, about one and a half hours on CBS and DirecTV for those of you who depend on so it’s time to break out the marinara and start bouncing the mozzarella. These are the nose picks that will either win the WSB Tourney Pick’em ’07 (there’s still room and time) or drive me to the looney bin.
A couple of High Lifes, er, highlights:
– Your national champions – Georgetown
– The highest seed to go out in round 1 – Southern Illinois
– The first #1 out – Kansas (well, duh!)
– Number of times the East Coast Media Cabal stumbles over Bucky – 1,893,232
– This year’s Cinderella – Creighton
– The team to knock off OverratedSU – Tennessee
I will say Wisconsin got one hellofadraw, and Marquette got screwed.
