The Sweet Sixteen are Set, But Who Will Be Elite?

The action came fast and furious over the past few days, and we’re sorry, but we spent too much time watching the games for free online, rather than updating our blog posts like we should be doing. We can’t help it. Every year around this time American workplace productivity falls off the charts. You should just deal with it.

Hope your brackets are doing well. We envy those of you who knew that Davidson, Villanova and Western Kentucky would be sweet in the tourney this season. There probably aren’t many people out there with perfect brackets anymore. However, there are still some top seeds out there, and the office bracket pools should be heating up. Here are the left side of the bracket picks for the Tournament (East and Southwest [why is East always on the left, and South above the West, which is on the right of the bracket? Just a thought.])

North Carolina 72, Washington State 66

  • The Heels clamp down on defense in the second half after falling behind early, sending Roy Williams to his millionth Elite Eight.

Louisville 65, Tennessee 64

  • Free throw shooting becomes crucial at the end of this one. Too bad both teams are shamefully awful at the stripe, otherwise the scores would be in the 100s.

Kansas 80, Villanova 71

  • The Jayhawks get to the rim all night, but it was a nice run for Nova. They’ll be strong next year.

Wisconsin 69, Davidson 61

  • Get ready for 1,355 close-up shots of Stephen Curry’s foxy mom crying in the stands.
