NCAA basketball

It's always amazing to me how many upsets the college basketball tournament suffers. Not that I should be surprised.

Kansas looked bad throughout large stretches of the year, and Uconn was also very inconsistent. Syracuse sat in that zone throughout the game with Vermont without regard to the fact that T.J Sorrentine was bombing them at will. Over the years, Boeheim has shown a tendency to stay in that damn zone even when it's not working and this time it cost them a victory. I think it also hurts Hakim Warrick's draft stature, having lost to a team like Vermont.

I really thought that Illinois would lose early but with all the upsets, they are looking good, but not as good as North Carolina. The best team in college basketball are the Tar Heels and while they can be beaten, the bracket is theirs for the taking. Kansas fans will be crying in their beer if Roy Williams hoists the championship banner.
