tournament time (the madness)

yes, my perfect bracket continues (what?)... wichita state was not getting past several of the teams and would have likely not made the final four, but their bracket was unfair to them and to kentucky and louisville and i am not a fan of any of those schools... anyway, i don't see any of the #1s in the final four this year, though florida does have the easiest path as usual... they, like the miami heat, are helped along so much by their corporate masters it reduces the fun (and fairness) of the game... pros too... i mean, did you see the cry-baby miami heat superstars complaining because the refs did not give them the win against indiana... the refs tried, but they just were not good enough that night in spite of the refs help... they would never have won the two chamtionships without the refs help, but that's another story of injustice and corporate american greed... anyway, tonight the ncaa tournament, aka march madness, returns to the tv... i'll leave the visual on but listen to music, or the night, cuz either is more entertaining and enjoyable than sports announcers... especially biased announcers...

so if you must know what happens later, wisconsin should have little trouble knocking off baylor... baylor will be lucky to score 50 and it could be an embarrassingly low score... and dayton should beat stanford, though that could be a lot closer, depending on whether the stanford big man can keep his cool... kentucky-louisville?... i say kentucky has a shot, they should have beaten florida in their championship game but got too much one-on-one lebron style on the last play and florida is a referee favorite... because of that i see louisville moving on, unless the referees allow kentucky to beat up and get away with bullying louisville, in which case i see kentucky moving on... in the end, louisville has a weakness at the free throw line and that just may be their undoing, even if they play well everywhere else... and michigan state should take down another #1 by beating virginia... still, so much in basketball depend on whether the refs let the players play and whether the refs have a bias because ref bias is rampant in basketball...

i may have mentioned that...

anyway, moving right along (and more ambivalent all the time), arizona-san diego state should be a good game but i don't know if sd state can keep up with arizona for the whole game... it could be the closest game of the night... florida is one of the better teams in this year of relatively poor quality college basketball and i doubt ucla can take them down, but florida is overrated... what they have is stamina, a great coach and a very easy bracket... in fact, the midwest bracket makes all the other brackets look easy and unbalanced... it's not the best year for college basketball... other games tomorrow don't matter much, no offense to the schools or fans, but that's life...

sadly, the poor officiating dominates the basketball experience in the nba, not as much in college cuz there is not as much money involved... we live in a quite corrupted culture, in case you didn't know...

you enjoying your bracket? (what?... you didn't fill one out?... join the club :)
