CONSUMED BY THE MADNESS!!!
Yes, that's me...every year. It's sad how little I seem to appreciate college basketball until this point of the season. But honestly, it doesn't get much more exciting than this! So, without further adieu, here's a Top 10 List for your reading enjoyment. Follow my advice, laugh at my humor, or scoul at the lack there of. The ball...is in your court. No pun intended.
You ever notice how whenever someone uses a pun, they follow it up with "no pun intended?" OBVIOUSLY IT WAS INTENDED OR IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SAID!!!" Thank God for stupidity or I'd never have anything to talk about.

Some Bold Observations, Predictions, and Picks...in Top 10 fashion!
10---After getting portrayed by Brian Dennehy as a man who uses the "F" word so much, truckers cringe, Bobby Knight carries his Red Raiders to a first round victory over Southern Illinois, only to scream repeatedly "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SCARED OF?! IT'S MY GAME THAT GOT YOU HERE!!" repeatedly in a second round exit to Georgia.
9---Gonzaga, seeded a meager #6 in the West Conference, gets one step closer to the final prize, making an Elite 8 appearance, beating Oklahoma in what I guess is an upset along the way. In a side contest, the Zags, Georgetown, and Georgia all compare logos for subtle differences.
8---Our hearts are with the Panthers of Pittsburgh, but a Sweet 16 berth is all they may have. Alabama will be a tough challenge, but a Pitt trip to the Final Four could be the greatest thing to happen to Pittsburgh since "The Inaccurate Reception." or...
7---The Selection Committee receives anthrax-laced NIT acceptance letters from Ball State and Butler.
6---The Oregon Ducks was a Hurricane loss away from a share of the National Championship in football. How far can the Ducks go in this tournament? I actually picked them into the Final Four, but what do I know? Perhaps help from Gordon Bombay and the initiation of the "Flying V" could carry them further. I like this team, and that, my friends, is all that's important.
5---It wouldn't be a list if I didn't mention my team, UCLA. Which Bruins team will show up? This team could either get ousted in the second round, or go as far as the Elite 8. Choosing with my wallet, I've got them getting shipped out of Pittsburgh by Cincinnati in the second round. But they could suprise...like they always seem to AVOID.
4---Kansas...can they actually do something this year? Hmmm...has anyone seen my noose?
3---To make it as realistic as possible, the players on the winning squad of Alcorn State or Siena will be replaced by lambs as they move into the first round against Maryland.
2---After watching several games with his friends, Ryan Ours makes mysterious disappearances as Duke takes center stage. Fittingly, it'll be the play of Ryan Ours/Mike Dunleavy that carries Duke to the Championship game.
1---Dunleavy/Ours' mad game falls short as the Maryland Terrapins claim the National Championship, making one of my favorite analysts, Dick Vitale, spit out a word with 25 syllables to express his excitement. Something along the lines of "Superfantasticadunkaroonilistupendousformsofalleyoopschampions...BABY!!!!!!!" will suffice.
~HAPPY TOURNEYING EVERYONE~
