I Know Nothing

I officially know nothing about NCAA basketball. The first three rounds of the tournament went well for me. These last two days have been awful. First, Memphis should've been wearing brown shorts last night because when they stepped on the floor, they crapped themselves. I know UCLA plays great defense, but I attribute most of Memphis' effort last night on their inability to make open jumpers and lay ups. They also demonstrated that they're not a very smart basketball team. They're talented and stupid, and that's a deadly combination. UCLA has has played three close games in a row, and they haven't looked like a dominant team yet. Meanwhile, LSU controlled the the Texas front court, holding LaMarcus Aldridge to four points. That's impressive. LSU and UCLA will meet in the next round, and this tournament is beginning to look like LSU's to win. I'm taking the Tigers against the Bruins.

And the tournament's Holy Crap team, George Mason, continues to blow by more skilled opponents, taking out UConn earlier today in overtime. Just wow. UConn is obviously a fatally flawed team. Perhaps that first-round exit in the Big East Tournament was a precursor of things to come. Congrats, Patriots. They earned it. They'll play the winner of the Villanova/Florida game taking place right now. For the record, I've taken Florida in this one.
