Every year, my family and I have a bracket competition for March madness. Now I obviously know nothing about basketball, so I just fill in random teams because their name is cooler (like Gonzaga that's an awesome name). Somehow it works out for me because last year I got first! This year, I did absolutely terrible.. I got dead last, like I should I guess. But all I have to say I thanks, Iowa State.
The crazy thing is, there have been at least 10 upsets already! Since I'm so good at picking teams, I chose Iowa State to go to the finals, cause you know, I'm from Iowa so might as well have an Iowa team go all the way right?? Well thanks so much Cyclones, you lost first round! Pretty much screwed me right there! Thankfully, I chose Kentucky to win it all!
The final four consists of three number one ranked teams; Duke, Kentucky, and Wisconsin, and a number seven ranked team Michigan State. I'm really counting on Kentucky to get it done and my bracket isn't a complete failure!! Now it's not surprising that there are 3 number one ranked teams in the final four, but how did Michigan State snake their way in there? First, they had to beat number ten ranked Georgia, which was surprisingly close, 70-63. Then they went on to beat number two ranked Virginia! If that's not crazy enough, next they beat number three ranked Oklahoma and number four ranked Louisville. Who would have thought that a number seven team would make it all the way to the final four! Way to go boys!! Unfortunately they have to play number one ranked Duke, who almost always does really in the tournament. Well, I'm rooting for those guys! Bring on the under dogs!
I don't think there are any people left with a successful bracket, I mean how could there be! With over 10 upsets, this has to be one of the craziest March Madness tournaments in a while!!! Finally, the title of the tournament makes a whole lot of sense! Hopefully the madness is over and Kentucky can get the job done. PLEASE I'm counting on you!
