Hell yeah. I'm doing much better today than I did yesterday. These things will change. These walls that they put up to hold me back will fall down. Time to go get d#!nk.
I have two Sweet 16 teams and an Elite Eight team playing right now, and with the way the day is going I wouldn't be surprised to lose one or two of them.
This sucks. Going into the last 4 games tonight, I had only gotten 3 wrong so far. But I got 3 of these last 4 wrong.
So after the first round, I'm 26-6. I lost California, Illinois, West Virginia, Wake Forest, Florida St., and Ohio St. No severe damage done, though. I had Illinois going to the sweet 16, but I had the other 5 losing the next game, so that's alright I suppose.
welcome to the aau lifestyle... where players see a team across from them with no hype and sleepwalk through the game 'cause they don't give a shit, but get all fired up when they see somebody who's supposed to be good.
it's interesting to watch the two big long island products still in the tournament play... danny green was a significantly better high school player than a.j. price ever was, but price is the best player on his team and green is just a roll player, albeit a good one.
I hate tease games (Carolina/LSU). Where the heavy fav is getting challenge and suddenly realizes "o shit we might lose" and starts playing. Gonzaga did it the other night too, I guess they're officially big time now.
After the first weekend, I'm actually doing surprisingly well. I got 15 of the sweet 16 right (minus Illinois), and my Elite Eight onward is still good.
other than losing wvu i'm sitting pretty... western kentucky's loss hurt, 'cause i'm sure i would have been one of the few to have them into the sweet 16. oh well.
