Time to Cover the Pool with a Wooden Floor

Ah, yes. It is that time of year when I become a situational ethics guy and support anyone arrested for gambling! It's time to engage in bracketology and get out your dance card.

Here's my ten thoughts on the NCAA tournament:

1) They should invite every Division I team. Why? There would be more games to watch. The same 16 will be left standing anyway.

2) There is no way the ACC should get two #1 and one #2 seeds. It is definitely a good league but when the two bottom feeders from the Big East joined the league and finished in the middle of the pack, one has to wonder just how deep the league really is.

3) The Big East will not produce the national champ this year. The odds are with me on this even if that hasn't played out that way in the women's game. I guess I can predict that the women's champ will also not come from the Big East. Go Rutgers!

4) Either Florida is that good or Kentucky is way overrated. Donovan may be a genius.

5) Watch out for OK St. The twins are good but so are the guys they play with.

6) Pacific, West Va., GA Tech, or even Texas Tech could easily pull "upsets." In fact, if one of these teams is in the final four, nobody will be surprised. In other words, the St. Louis Region is BRUTAL. Too bad for Washington.

7) The Tar Heels have an easy first week but the third game holds the greatest peril for them regardless of whether that is against Nova, New Mex., or Florida.

8) Duke should also have an easy first week of work but the next one will be tough. Williams and Shavlik (the dirty player) Randolph better keep themselves out of foul trouble.

9) I can pick the sweet 16 with decent accuracy but after that, I am truly a loser.

10) This is by far the most interesting sports championship on the face of the Earth.

No, I won't predict a champion. Dee Brown is a tremendous player but there are at least 15 other teams which could take it all. I will enjoy watching regardless of who wins.

  • Well, well. It certainly does not look as if the ACC is the best basketball league in the country. That honor has to go to the Big Ten even though I despise the Big Ten. As I noted that the ACC did not deserve two # 1s and one # 2, I guess it is possible the Big Ten did deserve such an honor. I just hope that next year we are not subjected to the same comments from ESPN and CBS broadcasters. Guys, look around the country and stop touting the ACC!
