NCAA Tournament Never Dissapoints

The NCAA Tournament never dissapoints the sports fan.
The drama is unbelievable. The last second shots. The upsets. March Madness is truly a thing of beauty.
How are your brackets as we head to the “Sweet 16”? I’ve still got my Final Four, with North Carolina, Texas, Kansas and UCLA all surviving. UCLA barely got by. North Carolina is the top overall seed in the tournament, and the Tar Heels certainly played that part this weekend with two blowout wins.
The four seeds in the East now head to Charlotte. I think North Carolina will be tested by Washington State, but the Heels are playing the best basketball in the tournament by far. I’ve got Kansas to beat UNC, but I’m not so sure after watching this past weekend’s play.
The ACC has only one team in the “Sweet 16”. Duke’s upset loss to West Virginia was a huge sirprise. The Devils are good when their threes are falling. When they didn’t fall, Duke was certainly vulnerable.
Enjoy the tournament when it gets back in gear on Thursday night. There’s really nothing like it.
“March Madness” should lead into some kind of Final Four that first week of April. BB
