On Sunday, the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee released the bracket for this year's tourney. And on Tuesday, I have a math test. This is an extremely unfortunate coincidence, because undoubtedly, my mind will be more occupied with my bracket than actually studying for math. It's a shame, too, because if I studied hard enough, I could get an A on the test and the class. But March Madness is March Madness, and the days leading up the beginning of tournament play are reserved solely for bracketology.
I don't know what it is, but filling out a bracket is one of my favorite things to do. But that's not to say that I'm any good at it. I follow college basketball pretty steadily, and I'm a pretty educated guy in terms of sportz stuff. But for whatever reason, I am terrible at picking brackets. I think I tend to overthink it, and as everyone knows, you have to go with your gut.
At the moment, I have Michigan State over Miami in the finals. Will that happen? Probably not. Is my bracket going to suck? Almost definitely. But the great thing about the tournament is that every bracket is perfect until the first day of games. And those few days before play begins are prime debating hours. Is Gonzaga actually good? Could Davidson beat Marquette? I guess we'll find out in a few days time.
