Brackets and March Madness

Today is March 18th which means that March Madness has begun. My bracket has been filled out and I've been watching plenty of basketball. I have Syracuse, Texas, Purdue, and Pitt in my final four. Of course I have Texas winning it all. I have Ohio State being beat by Syracuse in the Elite 8 and Duke gets upset by Texas. Kansas gets beat by Purdue in the Elite 8, and Pitt is my only number one seed in the Final Four. So far I've lost ten games, and only three of them go past the 2nd round or farther.

Texas won today. Hopefully this leads them into a sweet sixteen game with Duke or Michigan either way I have friends to make bets with. However, I don't think Duke is as good as they are hyped up to be. Texas isn't as good as Duke but there isn't much hype around Texas. Duke is being talked about a lot because of Kyrie Irving, but how much of a difference can a freshman that hasn't played in almost four months make? In my opinion, not much. He has been hurt so he will not be in great shape and his skills will be rusty. I guess we will see though.
