NCAA March Madness - Weekend in Review

Wow! What a great, long weekend of March Madness. I have watched some serious amounts of basketball. My eyes are tired, that is until Thursday when the tournament starts up again!

I know what you are thinking. I have to have the greatest wife in the world to let me spend all this time watching basketball. You are right. I do! I know that this weekend hasn't been the most fun for her, but it really means a lot to me that she is so cool about letting me watch the games.

Here is a recap of my tournament favorites so far. Duke won a close game on Saturday night and plays Villanova on Thursday night for a chance to go to the Elite 8. Xavier, my favorite local team, won on Sunday and will play Pitt on Thursday. If Duke and Xavier both win, they get to play each other to go to the Final Four. My loyalty belongs to Duke, but I would be excited for them to get to play each other.

The tournament has been a good one this year. There have been a few upsets, but so far, no major ones. In my brackets, I had a much better 2nd round then I did my 1st round. In the 2nd round I went 13 - 3. All my picks for the Final Four are still in the tournament. (I once again added my bracket to the bottom of this post.)

Now, I guess, it is back to normal life for me and my blog. At least for a few days.

I have to admit I have a different, more positive prospective of March Madness from following your responses.

Go Lakers! They are my pick to win the whole thing.
