March Madness Starts Now

This is it, March Madness has started and it is now officially the craziest time in sports.  The time when upsets are the norm and anything can happen.  This is my favorite time of year because honestly College Basketball is my favorite thing to watch because for me this is basketball in it's purest form.  There is something about this time of year where everything is possible and everyone comes out of the woodwork to cheer on their teams.

Every year I choose North Carolina to win because you guys know they are my team but honestly last year they should have won and I believe they have a great chance to win this year.  They do have to tweak a few things such as Justin Jackson has to be hot because he is the biggest outside threat and he can shoot three for three with other players.  Also Joel Berry II has to be smart because if he gets into foul trouble that will be a huge burden on everyone else on the team and it was clearly shown during the semifinal game of the ACC tournament when UNC was up over Duke by 10 and he got his fourth foul with 15 min left in the second half.  Well what happened next was that Duke went on a run and ended up winning the game.  Kennedy Meeks just do you and be the inside threat that you are, you have the body and size to get in and muscle your way to shots and I love that.  If these things all happen then I truly do believe that UNC can win it all this year.

Now for upsets well I'm not always good at picking them and there are times when teams that I think will be the upset aren't but I do hope that Bucknell can beat West Virginia because well Patriot League pride. If they win then it won't mess up my bracket too much. This really is the best time of year and I can't wait to start watching games right now.

I hope you enjoyed this post and keep following my love affair with sports.
