Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s talk NCAA basketball. I know what you’re thinking. “Wichita State? They’re a #9 seed. Who in their right mind would make such a bold (and crazy) statement?” Okay, that’s a legitimate question. Maybe I’m not in my right mind. Or maybe I just don’t believe that Wichita State […]

What a wild ride that first week was, huh? And this weekend’s games should be even better. All things considered, I felt pretty good about picking twelve out of sixteen teams correctly to make it this far. I know, 75% won’t make you much money in the betting world, but there were a lot of […]

It’s that time again. March Madness! Time to scour all of the data from the past four months for 68 different teams. Time to be repaid for the countless hours of dedicated research, watching every conceivable NCAA Division I basketball game available to mankind since Thanksgiving-ish. Time to pick 65 games correctly, ultimately winning the […]

Is it just me, or has the sports world in the great state of Arizona been turned on its head over the past couple of weeks? I’m not just talking about the house cleaning that was done by the Cardinals. The craziness has infiltrated nearly all of the major sports venues. We’ll take a look […]

Was that a great tournament or what? Tons of upsets in the early rounds. A few more upsets in the middle rounds. Ultimately the final four had very good teams that put on an exciting semi-final show before the best team in the country handily won the championship game! Who can ask for anything more? […]

It’s been several years since I’ve looked forward to the final four matchups as much as I am this year. I can’t put my finger on the reason, but I think it has something to do with fact that I picked three of the four remaining teams to be here. This really surprised me, since […]

Well, we’re down to eight teams in the NCAA Tournament, and who could have asked for a better set of matchups? We all know that the tournament started off a bit shaky, with so many top dogs going down early. But the cream has risen to the top and we are left with the potential […]

Now that round two is finally over, we all face the daunting task of searching the shambles that once were our brackets for something to be encouraged about. The scene resembles the gathering of the dead after a classic battle between the Greeks and Trojans in the epic movie Troy. If I were an eternal […]

Now that the results of round one have been officially logged, I, like most people across this fine country, find myself sifting through the carnage of my brackets and thinking to myself, “Next year I’m paying more attention during the regular season”!

Everybody was telling me to wait one more day before I announced my picks for the NCAA men’s tournament. I even had a feeling in my gut telling me the same thing. All I had to do was listen and I’d be okay. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (A little John Belushi humor there.) I had to go ahead […]
