Well the mania has begun. I love this time of year. All the passive fans throughout the year come out and cheer for their respective favorites as 68 teams make a run for being NCAA tournament champion.
There have already been big upsets, among them Iowa State. And there are sure to be cinderella's emerge as a result of these upsets. But the giants are still lurking (Kentucky, Villanova, Duke, Wisconsin).
I would like to see my beloved Hawkeyes win a game ... or two! Yes, I'm greedy. But then again it's been a long time since the Hawkeyes have won more than one game in the NCAA tournament. So maybe they are due. And not many have faith in this team. I want them to win and am hopeful they do so, but I'm not expecting them to win. That's a big difference.
And how about Northern Iowa? I'm happy and hope they do well also. Would be great to see them take out a few giants along the way.
So because the Cyclones have already lost (frankly I have a tough time cheering for them) I will cheer for the rest of the Iowa teams. First and foremost my beloved Hawkeyes ... GO HAWKS! But also for UNI, go Panthers!
May the best team on that night win!
Brackets? My family competes against each other every year by filling in a bracket. Haley is on Spring Break so she's out this year. Holly picked Iowa State as her national champion, Alex and Luke picked Villanova, and I picked Duke. I told Holly it served her right considering she picked Iowa's rival to go all the way. Gotta say I'm not sad about that.
Should be a fun set of games over the next week or so.
Who do you think wins it all?
