So, my prediction of a UCLA/Kansa final game is still intact, but unfortunately little else is in my sorry looking bracket. Hindsight is always 20/20, but as I review my picks there is a lot more "what was I thinking?" than normal. Indiana in the elite 8 by beating Arkansas and North Carolina in Raleigh? Duke in the elite 8 because I couldn't decide who would win between Xavier and Purdue? And man did I misjudge the Big East. After watching their conference tourney, I thought "wow; Georgetown's really good and Pitt just destroyed them" when the proper conclusion to draw seems to be "Georgetown just got exposed because Pitt's not that good of a team." Oh well; I don't think I've ever won a tourney pool so I suppose the only difference this year is that I knew on day 3 that I was totally out of it instead of sometime during the 2nd weekend. I still am alive to maybe claw my way back into 3rd place, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.
So the Cubs season gets underway on Monday. I have been holding off on my season preview because there have been a lot of signs that some significant moves would get made before the start of the season. Now, however, other than a minor signing of a backup outfielder it looks like the team is largely the same group that entered spring training 5 weeks ago. I'll probably end up writing the preview this weekend during a CPA study break.
Really looking forward to seeing the movie 21, which comes out tomorrow. It's based on a true story about a group of students at MIT who took Vegas for a couple million dollars by counting cards at blackjack. I heard about this story a few years ago and have read a couple articles about it. I know there will be embellishments, but I really hope they don't go too overboard with it. The true story is intriguing enough that you don't need the extra drama.
Upset special for this round is Michigan St. over Memphis. That team just can't shoot free throws.
Have a good weekend everyone!
