Raise your hand if you saw that one coming? My ass you did.

Tonight begins the Sweet 16, and here’s where brackets get busted. In a couple of my pools, I’m the only person who picked Pitt to go all the way. After the Panthers’ performance in the first two rounds, I now feel more confident in the U.S. economy than I do in Pitt’s title hopes. But I’m willing to withhold judgement, cross my fingers and see what happens. After all, it took a Tyus Edney miracle layup for UCLA to move on in 1995 and a Christian Laettner shit shot for Duke to survive in 1992.
As Kevin Garnett would scream – “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!“
R.I.P. - The Missouri Valley Conference’s NCAA Tourney hopes.
It was another down year for the Valley, the second consecutive. It was a young conference in 2008-09, and certainly next season should bring a return to the glory of past years. At least that’s what I’m deluding myself into thinking. Then again, I picked friggin’ Northern Iowa to knock off Purdue. The lesson here, as always, think with the head, not with the heart (or penis).
Thank you for serendipitously scheduling Selection Sunday at this particular time of year. Your release of the names of the 65 teams in your tournament, and the amateur gambling glee it incites, is a welcome distraction. Now, nobody will notice that we pissed ourselves this weekend.

P.S.
Feel free to expand the field, if you’d like. Drag that sucker out, we’ll make it worth your while.
…but I wouldn’t be disappointed if they did.
