The NCAA tournament tips off in a few hours, and I’m anxious to see how many of us will be throwing our brackets in the trash after the first two rounds. I personally have way too many brackets floating around the net and city so I don’t even know who I’ve picked in half of them. This has been such a bizarre year in college basketball. Last year we knew Memphis, North Carolina, Kansas and UCLA were ten steps ahead of everyone else. This time around, there’s no separation between the first, second, or third seeds. Realistically I could see a three seed sneaking their way to Detroit.
I’ll never deny or try to hide my allegiance to the Memphis Tigers. And since I’m pressed for time, here are my picks.
