I was afraid that this year’s NCAA tournament would be a boring one after the fairly mundane and predictable Thursday games. However Friday proved to be one of the more exiting Tournament days in recent memory. At the Tampa, FL site, every lower seed won. This resulted in two 13-4 upsets and two 12-5 upsets. While Vanderbilt might have been on the business end of one of those 12-5 upsets, the day still proved to be absolutely thrilling. The weekend overall was just over the top. I mean who would have predicted Western Kentucky and Davidson would have made it into the Sweet 16?

However as noted in my post title, my bracket is a wasteland of horrors and is probably only fit to line a hamster cage. I’m going to accept my shame, but it appears that all the upsets I called didn’t happen, and all the upsets I didn’t call did happen. This would be the dynamic combination that destroyed my bracket. Just about all of my predictions proved to be completely wrong, and while it did wreck my pool chances; it’s this same unpredictability that reaffirms my love for the tournament. We’ll see what insanity happens next weekend.
