I watched part of every single game of the NCAA tournament yesterday

…And all of quite a few. I can do that because I had a little one home from school sick and I am a stay at home dad. Heck, even if I was working a job at this point in my life I would still take vacation days on the Thursday and Friday of the 1st round NCAA games to do the same thing.
My bracket picks aren’t in the best of shape but I’m okay overall still as none of my picks to go the Sweet 16 have been eliminated. I picked 12/16 games correct. From now on, possibly until the end of time , I will refuse to pick BYU in the any 1st round game unless the reincarnation of Danny Ainge is wearing a Cougar uniform. I got convinced BYU was woefully underseeded by a reputable hoops stats site (which I thoroughly enjoy still) and thought better of sticking with Texas A&M as a result. That is my one regret of my 1st round picks. However, that same site, thankfully, got me to realize picking against the tide of the VCU upset over UCLA was sound reasoning. I did pick the Bruins then and UCLA was just good enough to hang on versus the Rams in the final seconds for a 1 point win. VCU’s Eric Maynor is very good and his teammate, the center named Sanders, is going to really be something to behold the next few years. That kid has the very longest arms I have ever seen. And he “is” exceptional.
Note – UCLA’s Alfred Aboya is a man. That guy is really good. He reminds me of former Ohio State Perry Carter as far as his strength goes. He’s a much different player, of course, I would love someday for the Buckeyes to have a player of his ilk in uniform.
I’m worried about Ohio State’s game tonight but am convinced they will play well. I think it’s a tossup game that will come down to who makes plays in the last two minutes.
Go Bucks!
