March Madness

The 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament field was announced yesterday afternoon/evening. Some of the bubble teams that didn't make it (Miss St., Illinois, and Va Tech) probably had better arguments than teams that did make it (Florida, Minnesota, Georgia Tech). However, none of those teams figure to make it past the second round and maybe not even the first round. The 4 #1 seeds weren't very surprising either (Duke, KU, Kentucky, and Syracuse).

Now with the brackets set, let's admire how work production falls off a cliff in most places. With frantic and in-depth research and all the office pools that get formed, work becomes secondary the first week of the tournament. Not to mention you can watch any game for free online at cbsportsline.com. I will be watching a few games, and I will always have Gus Johnson's game on audio though.

As for picks. I will wait for Wednesday to make those public. I am still working on my bracket and haven't even decided all of the 1st round games.Although, this year could be filled with upsets with so many teams notched so close together and the top 7-10 teams so far ahead of the rest of the field. Even if your bracket falls apart this year (like mine during the 2nd weekend, 28-5 (1st rd), 12-4 (2nd rd), and finally 6-6 3rd and 4th rds combined) it still represents one of the best sports weekends of the year with a glass slipper or two to be handed out.
