Punks. And while I'm at it, Temple. And Richmond. And St. John's. How could all of these teams win? It's nuts, really. Actually, the game I was really worried about was Princeton and Kentucky. THAT was a close game. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's March Madness.
And while I'm not really mad at these teams (read: yes I am), I'm disappointed in the teams that they played against because they ruined my chances of winning the Bracket Challenge.
March Madness kicked off with a great set of games, several of which were decided in the last thirty seconds of the game. Crazy. And with each of those wins came upsets (Morehead State beating Louisville, Kentucky almost getting knocked off by Princeton and Butler beating Old Dominion on a final millisecond shot).
My alma mater, University of San Diego, has been to the big dance once since the time I went to school there. And even then, that was only the second or third time that they had been. And yet, Gonzaga, our school's rival in the northwest, perpetually goes to the dance and does well. Well, except last night, when they lost out to Saint John's. I feel slightly better about that even though it ruined that portion of my bracket as well.
All in all, the games from the first day were incredible, which, hopefully means that the rest of the games and especially the next round should be rather fun to watch. Here's hoping at least, or I will have to find something else to get behind. Oh wait, isn't it only two weeks to Opening Day of the better sport anyway?
Until tomorrow.
