A short, painful day today as some of my Elite 8 teams took a big fall… Namely Ohio State and last year’s national champions North Carolina.
I said last night that I thought Bradley would beat Pitt, and hey, I was right, if only it was Kansas instead of Bradley… But I’ll give them props because CBS’ on screen score in the bottom left corner said “BRAD PITT” throughout the whole game. Then the real fun began, and by real fun I mean real pain. George Mason stunned North Carolina, whoever predicted that is a smart, smart man, one who prolly made a crapload of bank off it. Then later on, Georgetown layed some serious smack down on Ohio State, despite only 4 of their players scoring. To be fair, Ohio State were never in the game at all, they led for a brief period early on, capitulated way too easy and disappeared into the night with barely a whimper.
At least everything else went my way, small favours.
Now we have to wait till Thursday for the Sweet 16 to start, and a few worrying games for me… Memphis vs. Bradley for one, especially with the roll Bradley are on, and of couse Gonzaga vs. UCLA. This will be the real test, up against a higher seed.
