This week begins one of my favorite times of the year. Spring is around the corner, baseball season starts in a few weeks... Oh...and the NCAA tournament begins this week!
The selection committee has made their picks, the brackets have been set, and now the road to Detroit has been paved for all 65 teams. The questions now become, which teams will run out of gas? Which teams will shock some people? Which teams will underachieve? Which teams have the talent and intestinal fortitude to survive the slugfest that is the NCAA Tournament, and make it to Detroit for a chance to lift that much sought after trophy?
The Big East, which by most accounts was the best conference in the land this year comprises 75% of the #1 seeds: Louisville, Pittsburgh & UCONN, with ACC powerhouse North Carolina taking the last top spot.
This year's tournament could prove to be one of the most competitive and hardest to predict. Last year, all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four for the first time in history. I will be shocked if the same happens this year.
This year's tournament is particularly exciting for me as my Syracuse Orange (see last weeks Swag Award), fresh off an impressive showing in the Big East Tournament are back in the NCAA tourney for the first time since 2006.
By now, I'm sure all the sports fans have their brackets or know where to get them, so I won't bore you.
Last night, I saw a great commercial by Nike that featured Carmelo Anthony and the 2003 Syracuse team that won it all. I can't find the video yet, but when I do I will post. Until then, enjoy another good March Madness spot from Nike.
