Sweet Sixteen

The good news, four of my original thirteen remain. 30 percent. The bad news, three of the four are in the same bracket.

Congratulations to Oregon, Florida, Butler and Southern Illinois. Nice playing, Bucky. You scored enough so that I win the noncollectable side bet. Why couldn't you run with the Rebels?

So, of the sixteen that remain, who will win? All four number Ones remain, although it hasn’t been a cakewalk for any of them. Three of four number Twos remain. (Bucky is the loser in this evaluation). UNLV is the lowest seed remaining at seven.

The Midwest has only odd seeds left, 1,3,5, and 7. The West is 1,2,3,4. The East is 1,2,5,6. The South is 1,2,3,5. The selection committee did a respectable job this year. But will all four number ones make the final four? This is the best year for that bet in many, many.

Who was it that asked for equality and parody in the league? Not me, I'm a homer.
