NCAA Finals Prediction

By ⋅ April 4, 2011 ⋅ One comment

There have been 66 games during the NCAA Tournament, pairing 64 teams down to two. We’ve seen just about every kind of basketball game there is. Buzzer beaters. Blowouts. Tightly-fought battles. High seeds handling business against low seeds. And upsets galore. It has been a wild, crazy, unpredictable but eminently entertaining tournament, and now we’re [...]

The time has come!  In twelve short hours, the Clemson and West Virginia 12:15ET tip-off will commence a 64-team war that will culminate on April 4th in Houston, TX, leaving one team standing atop of the college basketball world. Last season, the Duke Blue Devils defeated the Butler Bulldogs in one of the best NCAA [...]

Sports fans across the nation will have their eyes glued to their television sets watching the Men’s NCAA Final Four this weekend, and I will certainly be among them.

The Missing Link with Terrier Basketball

By ⋅ February 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

For three consecutive years, the Terriers have been preseason selections by America East coaches and by several sports related websites, such as ESPN and CBS Sports, to advance to the NCAA tournament, but BU has failed to do so since 2002. This year, which started out so promising, seems to have the same trend as previous [...]

Pitino Busts My NCAA Bracket Again

By ⋅ March 31, 2009 ⋅ One comment

VIEW –> Sports of Boston NCAA Bracket Standings: Top 20 Ahh, the peaks and valleys of the NCAA Tournament. By Saturday, I lost my first Elite Eight team, and subsequently my first Final Four team in Memphis. I had the seven other Elite Eight teams so I was still in great shape to win some much-need money [...]

March Madness Heats Up After First Weekend

By ⋅ March 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Whether it was Cleveland State, Arizona, Western Kentucky, or Wisconsin, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament had its fair share of first round surprises. Despite the number of upsets, the No. 1, 2, and 3 seeds in each bracket all advanced to this weekend’s Sweet 16, leaving most with chances to have a successful bracket when [...]

USC Bounces BC Out of NCAA Tournament

By ⋅ March 21, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Seven-Ten games in the NCAA Tournament are always intriguing and some would say are not upsets, like the 8-9 matchups.  The BC-USC game seemed to fit the mold as you had the seventh seeded Eagles with the flex offense and which-team-will-show-up dynamic taking on the Trojans with size and momentum, coming off a Pac-10 tournament [...]

Kansas Wins Tourney, Busts My Bracket

By ⋅ April 8, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

VIEW KC’S FINAL NCAA BRACKET Kansas officially busted my bracket with a thrilling 75-68 win over Memphis in the NCAA Div. 1 Men’s Basketball Championship Game. I had Kansas bowing out to Georgetown…but little did I know that Davidson would make a trek all the way to the Elite 8, zooming past Georgetown before losing [...]

NCAA Bracket Watch: To the Final Four

By ⋅ March 31, 2008 ⋅ One comment

VIEW KC’s UPDATED BRACKET Rick Pitino knew his role as his Louisville squad bowed down to my eventual national champion, the North Carolina Tarheels. Louisville made it close, only losing by 10 to a team that had been blowing everyone out previously. All I can say is thank God that Lousiville didn’t totally bust my [...]

NCAA Bracket Watch: On to the Elite 8

By ⋅ March 29, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

VIEW KC’S UPDATED BRACKET So sad, so sad. My hate for Rick Pitino has taken Louisville to the Elite 8. I admit, I should’ve had them beating Oklahoma, but beating Tennessee in a no-contest? Not even my unbiased self would’ve seen that coming. In other news, I still have 6 of my Elite 8 teams [...]

NCAA Bracket Watch: On to the Sweet 16

By ⋅ March 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

VIEW KC’s UPDATED BRACKET Courtesy of Yahoo! Sports My bracket is still in decent shape, but took a big hit after Georgetown’s ridiculous loss to the 10-seed, Davidson. I had Davidson beating in Gonzaga in the first round (and they barely did it), but I never thought in my wildest dreams they’d beat G-Town too. [...]

Bracket Watch: Round 1

By ⋅ March 22, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

VIEW KC’s UPDATED BRACKET The second part of round 1 was not as kind, as I only went 11-5 in the 16 games on Friday. The pursuit of perfection for me ended, fittingly, at 18-0. My first wrong pick occurred when Drake lost on a last-second shot. That particular game killed me, as Western Kentucky [...]
