By now most of America's brackets have been wrecked by upsets (Duke v. Mercer), but that's precisely why we love the NCAA Tournament. It's a one and done deal. You play well, you move on - you don't play well, you go home. Wichita State University completed the first undefeated regular season since The Running Rebels of UNLV did so during the 1991 season. Awesome right? To quote the great poet Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friends." #1 seed Wichita State's season was just ended in the second round of the tourney by the 8th seeded Kentucky Wildcats. Oh, the madness!
Billionaire Warren Buffett issued a billion dollar - that's right - a billion dollar bracket challenge for the perfectly completed bracket. I think it's safe so assume that Buffett will be able to hold onto that billion bucks. Roll Call: Duke, UNC, Kansas, Ohio State, all gone fishing. I'll pose this question. Who among us had Stanford University or The University of Dayton making the Sweet16? If you did, then I need those winning Powerball numbers por favor!
There's still a long way to go, and a tons of basketball to be played until we crown this years national champion. The Final Four will take place at "Jerry World" aka AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tx. So until that last buzzer sounds remember; it ain't over until the sometimes skinny, sometimes fat, and now deceased man (Luther Vandross) sings!
Oh, the madness!
