The Madness continues

Today this blog will be rooting for:

Syracuse (because of the six overtimes)
Oklahoma State (because Oklahoma is evil, as in "the enemy of my enemy is my friend")
North Dakota State (because they had the best crowd at the selection show...I think the crowd consisted of half the residents of North Dakota)
Marquette (because of my bracket)
Temple (because they are in the A10)
Pittsburgh (because of where my parents live...and my bracket...and I want Duke to prove everyone wrong and beat them...and yes, that would take a tall miracle in the defensive post position)
West Virginia (because of where I live, also, Dayton is in Ohio)
Mizzou (go Big 12 team that is not OU)
Louisville (because of my bracket)
Arizona (because they deserve the chance to prove they do belong in the tournament)
Boston College (I love ACC basketball)
Xavier (I root for the A10, even when said A10 team is a GWU rival)
Wake Forest (ACC team from North Carolina!!)
Siena (because, when burnt, it makes a nice crayon...and because when they win, Ohio State will cry)
Robert Morris (because of where my parents live, but, yes, of course, my bracket has Michigan State)
Florida State (because I enjoyed watching them play in the ACC championship)

You should scan and post your bracket on here! I'd love to see it. If nothing else, you should post your Sweet 16 and Final Four picks. :)

I have Pitt, Gonzaga, Michigan State and Memphis, with Pitt over MSU in the final. I realize there's no chance Gonzaga beats UNC (and I went against my fundamental bracket rule of expecting Big East teams to do well and Big Ten teams to choke), but I wanted to go against chalk a few times, just for fun.

I cannot believe *cannot* that you are rooting for FSU. I am so upset right now, I just don't have words. Who are they playing that you resort to such treachery?!
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. Go Gators!

My bracket is completely biased, mostly uninformed, and purely emotional. For example, every year that I fill out my bracket either Duke or UNC win it all. This year I have Duke winning it all. I treat my bracket like a wish list of matches I want to see. I'll see if I can put it up.

Oops. I knew there was a reason I wasn't supposed to root for them. I just had so much fun watching Duke beat them in the ACC tournament, I wanted to see it again.
