For anyone who cares, my brackets are kaput. Unpredictability is what makes March Madness so much fun too watch though. Even the 16 seeds have looked tough in this year's tournament, which has given me even more confidence in my prediction that a #1 seed will indeed fall to a #16 within the next 5 years (it nearly happened to UCONN this weekend). As more exceptional high school players have prematurely darted off to the NBA, the parity of college basketball teams has narrowed greatly. There are a few perennial powerhouses that remain, but they vary in strength from year to year. The purists may not like the watering down of college basketball talent, but to me that's just part of the American dream and capitalism. Besides, the NCAA tournament games are more entertaining now than they were 20 years ago; just look at he records of the lower seeds in the tournament over the past 15 years. Plus, opportunities may be awarded to players/students at Universities that may not have been possible a few years ago, and that certainly isn't a bad thing for those individuals.
Back to the games.
