<p>Well I’m not exactly a big fan of Michigan State and Tyler Hansborough is from like an hour from where I sit, but I gotta hope for Michigan State still! I didn’t choose them to get this far, but since they eliminated my National Champions choice (Louisville) then I’ll go with them :)</p>
<p>I am actually kicking myself tonight – I’m a Michigan State alum, and I picked them to get to the final four, but never expected them to go further…I thought they’d meet their Waterloo in the shape of Memphis…and so I picked Carolina to take it all. But my heart is with the Spartans…</p>
<p>Well it’s not looking too good… UNC has been in control the whole time…</p>
<p>While I have no horse in this race, I have to say I am very proud of D1 who just IMed me that in the ESPN bracket she entered, she earned a whopping 99.56%. It places her at 20,587 out of over 5 million entries. Not bad for a 22-year old, and it beat the hell out of H’s bracket.</p>
<p>Congratulations, sort of, to Orchestramom. Albeit I’m sure it was a conflicted pool victory!</p>
<p>Oh well… I picked my bracket with my head, not my heart. (I won my office pool too)</p>
<p>No question the best team won last night. And Carolina deserved it. Still, I think MSU had an incredible run, and they should be incredibly proud of their accomplishment.</p>
<p>There were some really thrilling games and moments throughout the tournament, like the Villanova win over Pitt, The Siena double OT over Ohio State, the Wisconsin OT win over Fl State…these kids played with such heart and intensity!</p>
<p>Great fun all in all. Thanks for setting up the pool, lderochi!</p>
<p>Thanks, lderochi! And congratulations, orchestramom! See you all next March?</p>
<p>I missed a ton of March Madness games because of travel. However the Syracuse vs. UConn 6 overtime thriller at MSG has to be one of the best college games ever…</p>
<p>Go Tar Heels!</p>
<p>WhoooooooHoooooo!</p>
<p>(haha Duke)</p>
