Let the Madness Begin

Tuesday March 16th the Madness is back! A little more than a week from now little known teams will take down giants, I'll surely pick a couple 12s over 5s, and the chicks who pick the Huskies over the Tigers because they like their colors more will most likely ruin the pools...

I can't wait...

Before anyone can dispute my saying I picked so and so over someone else, I felt I should get some stuff out there. First, without seeing a bracket, I won't pick an absolute champ, but I do have favorites. The three #1 seeds that are locked up, Kansas, Syracuse, and Kentucky, are obviously going to make some noise. I've heard many people say a low seed will make a run this year.

Murray State, Siena, Cornell and Georgia Tech are my four low seeds to watch, but I have one more team I have liked all along, but they are now slated by Joe Lunardi to be a two-seed.

West Virginia (24-6, 13-5).

They play in the Big East, the toughest conference in America, they have big wins over top competition, and they have no "bad" losses. Bob Huggins's style of hard-nosed defense and smart basketball is tournament friendly as well.

So you heard it here first.

Pick your favorites and make sure to get them out there before it's too late, because once Cinderella gets to the ball, nobody will believe you picked them from the beginning!
