Gotta love March Madness. Best sporting event of the year, IMO.

I like Notre Dame (as much as it pains me), Pitt, UConn (Kemba Walker is insane), and Syracuse for the final four. I really wanted to give my alma mater (Texas) the nod, but I just can't do it. I know they're capable of beating any team in the country, but for some reason, they quit playing defense a couple weeks ago, and their offense relies too much on players who are notoriously trigger happy and inconsistent. I think Duke will take them down in the Sweet 16, although their first round matchup looks dangerous.

I'd like to see Washington make a deep run, but UNC in the second round is a pretty tough draw....

First round upset picks:
Marquette over Xavier
Michigan State over UCLA

Some 12 will beat a 5, but I don't know which one it will be.
