My Bracket Sucks
Another year.....another wasted five bucks. But it always makes the tourney fun. Currently I am sitting in 15th place out of 20 people in the Humzoo pool. HUMZOO POOL
After reviewing this years picks...and once again I am in the gutter....there are several things I do wrong.
1) Fill out more than one bracket. I don't sit there filling out a million.....but I did one for work...one with friends...and one with Humzoo. By filling out multiple brackets I pick several different scenarios instead of just thinking about one pool.
2) Being from the East....I love the Big East...maybe a little too much. It hasn't hurt me so much this year. I picked the West Virginia Upset. I had Villanova in the sweet 16. That made me look like a genius. But I have Georgetown in my final four... Uconn, and Pittsburgh, Note Dame in the sweet 16.....and all are dead.
3) I pick with my heart. I went to Kentucky this year and happened to love the state....picked them to go to the Elite 8 even though I know they are going to be a bad team.
4) Always think it is going to be crazier than it is. In total i picked 11 teams in the first round to beat teams with a better seed than them. Eight teams actually knocked out a higher seed....and this year seems to be a high year.
Not sure how my National final of Memphis VS TN looks. I thought it would be fun to have an all Tennessee final. The women don't look too bad either.
Most proud moment: In my work pool I picked Villanova, Siena, Kansas State, and Davidson to all win in the Midwest Regional.
Least Proud moment: In my work pool I picked Uconn to go to the Final Four.(heart pick).
