NCAA Tournament

    Well, I'm glad I didn't put any money down on my bracket. Like a fool, I believed in Rick Pitino and his tough minded Louisville squad. With images of their upset of ND in the Big East Tournament still fresh in my mind I picked them to go to the Final Four. Is it me, or is the Big East overrated? ESPN tends to show a lot of the Big East and thus all you hear about is the Big East (the same thing happened a few years ago in college football when they praised the Big 12 countless times), but St. Johns got dominated by a 'Zags team that is nothing special and the Cardinals looked mediocre against Morehead State. I know that's only two teams out of the 75 that make up the Big East, but still, I expected better. Of course, this begs to question how I feel about ND's chances in the tourney. I picked them to go to the Elite Eight, but now I believe a loss to Purdue is more likely. Then again, what do I know? I have only watched a handful of college games this year and can't name the starting five on my favorite team. I love the tourney, but I must admit that I am no longer a college basketball fan. I consider myself a college basketball casual observer. Go ND.
