As usual, it's the perennial 12th-seeded upsets in the NCAA basketball, and this year, it is my school, UW-Milwaukee, that leads the underdog charge. UWM Panthers demolished the mighty fifth-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide 83-73 just moments ago. Now, this is the stuff March Madness is made of. I will definitely call Craig in DC tonight and force him to swallow his every words regarding the impossibility of an upset. Dude, as always, you have a horrendous track record in betting against me. If I still live in DC right now, I'd have won myself a tray-load of devil eggs, some turkey wings, and a six-pack of Vitamin water.
Anyway, UWM will most likely play Boston College (BC) in the second round and there is a possibility of an upset in that game too. I'm sure there are a lot of emotions running through Coach Bruce Pearl's mind if UWM has to suit up against his alma mater, BC.
I did not pick UWM to go deep into the tourney but if they can make it into the Sweet Sixteen would itself be an achievement beyond everyone's expectation. My Final Four teams are as follow: Illinois, Duke, North Carolina, and Louisville. The Final would be between Illinois and North Carolina, with the Tar Heels going all the way. Coach Roy Williams has done a tremendous job in molding the highly talented yet individualistic North Carolina team into one cohesive unit that can claim to be a legitimate contender for the national championship. As much as I'd love to root for a fellow Big Ten team, I don't see how the Fighting Illinis can prevail against the Tar Heels unless if they can find ways to stop the North Carolina big men from punishing them in the paint and if they can keep up the frenetic offensive pace and the full-court press throughout the whole game. Still, strange things happen in the NCAA, and there's a reason why it's called the "March Madness."

Maryland chowkia gila season ni.. tu la bila tiap2 kali menang especially bila lawan Duke terus riot sana-sini.. bebudak mabuk tunggang-langgang kat College Park siap bakar kereta lagi gaduh dgn polis la.. padan muka tahun ni tak masuk langsung big dance! DC area dah takde college sports team yg power except GWU masuk NCAA tahun ni tapi mungkin out first round kot.. wizards pun nampak power gak la season ni tapi kalau masuk playoff pun mungkin out first-round kot..
