Let the Madness Begin...

This year's March Madness will be one of the craziest in years past in my opinion. I do not think there is any team besides the 15 and 16 seeds that can't win a game.

Questions entering the tournament:

Can Pitt FINALLY make that deep run? Can Duke toughen up enough to get past the first weekend? How will Ty Lawson's absence affect the heels and for how long? Will Memphis use its snubbing of a 1 seed as motivation and make it to its 4th straight elite eight? How will Louisville play after its remarkable run through the Big East Tournament? Will Clemson play like the Clemson of last year in March? Which 10-14 seed will surprise people? Can the 40 minutes of hell really make a deep run through Marquette and Memphis? Will the Big East play well with all the pressure on the conference? Will the SEC win a first round game?

Best First Round Matchups:
-Eric Maynor vs. Darren Collison
-Dionte Christmas vs. James Harden
-Grevis Vasquez vs. Brian Randle
-Sherron Collins vs. Ben Woodside
-Jeff Teague vs. Cedric Jackson
-Tyrese Rice vs. Daniel Hackett
-John Brockman vs. Jarvis Varnado

Although I predict this could be a wacky tournament, I still feel like the big boys will be there in the end competing in the final four. I am taking off work tomorrow to watch the games. I hope I don't miss a minute of the competition as I will be competing with myself to stay awake and continue filling my body with gross bar food and cheap beer. Wish me luck and enjoy Day 1.
