March Madness is here and I watched very little college basketball this year. To be honest, I'm not a big College basketball watcher but I seem to win my bracket every year. How do I do it? I do NOT pick my teams based on my favorite colors. I do NOT pick my teams by identifying star players. I truly believe I use common sense but I'm not entirely sure that's the case.
I do look at the 8/9 matchups and typically go with the 9's and there's always a 12/5 upset but I don't think Mcneese is going to upset Gonzaga this year. Of all the 12/5 matchups I'm leaning towards Grand Canyon upsetting St. Mary's. Like I said, not real data behind that...Just a feeling.
It's currently 10:34am PDT in Los Angeles and I just submitted my bracket. I made all my selections and then I glanced at bracket guru Jay Bilas' selections and OH BOY...My picks were almost a carbon copy of Mr. Bilas'. So, at this very moment, I'm feeling spectacular about my selections! Below is a look at my picks for the sweet 16. Tomorrow we will look at the elite 8
