Gentlemen and Ladies,
The greatest three weeks in sports are upon us, the field is set, the dance floor is lit, the mirror ball is spinning and it's time to cut a little rug and bust out some slippers. Here are my 5 bold predictions for the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship field of 68 and the least productive days of the year for the American workforce. And if you feel like this after your day one, you're not alone. Only one team wins it all.
#1 - Kentucky will not win the title. Vegas currently has the field as a slight favorite over the Wildcats. But I'm sticking to my guns from last week saying if they lost in the SEC tournament they would win it all. Well they won the SEC tourney and they are one hot shooting Melo Trimble half of basketball away from global disappointment. Remember that name.
#2 - If Oregon gets by Oklahoma State, they will knock off the all TV pundit darling Wisconsin in the round of 32. Wisconsin has great talent, but they are down their starting point guard and play a style of basketball that makes it hard for them to keep up with a team is they get down. They are capable of a bad loss, see Rutgers, and Oregon is a tournament sleeper. I am no Oregon fan, but Joseph Young is a better version of Eddie House, the former Arizona State star who once dropped 61 points in a game. This aint the NBA playoffs, this is one and done and all it takes is a magical night from downtown (and I heard that the new Cinderella movie is great btw.)
#3 - BYU, one of the last four in, will make the sweet 16. They will win the play-in game and the momentum will carry into the next two games making for fairly easy victories. They score from all over, check that, anywhere but inside the key, and they score a ton, 2nd in the nation at over 83 points a game, and they are 5th in the nation in assists. They're all old men, they knock you down on a foul and then pick you up and ask if they can be your pen pal, and they're actually pretty good at basketball.
#4 - Arizona will win the national title. That's all I have to say about that.
#5 - I will once again lose all my bracket challenges, and I do way too many, to someone who could care less about college basketball, someone who selects their winners by favorite mascot, someone who threw darts, and someone who makes their choices based on uniform color.
And on a closing note, I now officially know why it's called March Madness - every wife and girlfriend in America is mad at their husband or boyfriend for putting hoops ahead of them in the priority list. Sorry girls, you've got us all well trained, except in March.
Enjoy the Madness!!

My advice to all the ladies...don't let the madness make you mad. If you can't beat em, join em. Pull out your old college sweatshirt, fill out a bracket, put on your slippers, plop yourself down on the couch, Grab the remote, flip to the games that interest you, and let your husband/boyfriend grill you a burger. You might actually enjoy it!
