Thanks to a choke job by Bruce Pearl, I finally lost my first Final Four team last night (I usually lose the first one on the way into the Sweet Sixteen). That really put a hit on my bracket, which now has more holes than horse-trader’s mule. The good news is, if Wisconsin beats them all, I’ll beat all the Morons. The not-so-good is I’ll still need help to beat the Bar.
Those of you who took North Carolina or UCLA to be the first #1 out, start praying that Kansas and Memphis don’t choke. If you didn’t vote, Kansas is scheduled to tip first tonight at 8:40 pm, followed by Memphis scheduled at 8:57 pm. Tomorrow, UCLA opens it up at 5:40 pm, followed by North Carolina at 8:05 pm. Word to the wise; if you think we’ll have an all-#1 Final Four, wait until we know which two teams go first. Of course, if we don’t, you’re out of luck.
