Another basketball season, another first-round exit by the Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA Tournament.
To be totally honest, I never felt really good about this game. In my pool, I almost picked Bradley (almost doesn’t count does it), instead of taking KU to the Elite Eight. Fortunately, I don’t have them out any further than that.
I’m still in decent shape as long as I don’t miss very many more games. Right now, I’m sitting at unlucky number 13, but if today goes well (and I need some help from Georgetown for that to happen), I shouldn’t be sitting too poorly going into the next weekend of the tournament.
I am hoping that with KU out of it, I can look at the tournament a little more rationally. Not that it matters much…I just wouldn’t mind taking home that 65%.
I must admit, my picking ability this year sucks. Luckily I didn’t pay any money to get in a bracket. None of the upsets I picked happened, except for Wichita State, and the teams I thought would win have lost, including the entire Big Ten. I’m especially surprised that BC and Gonzaga are still in it.
At least my dad’s alma mater is still playing in the NIT, go Jaspers!
