NCAA Tournament Enigma

This is not a tournament for a compulsive gambler. College basketball is as unpredictable as the mood of a teenage girl. Mike and I have watched a lot of NCAA basketball games this year (mostly Big 10) and yet I felt so lost when I filled out my first bracket this afternoon.

I lack the foresight to accurately predict which teams will go to the final four this year. I tried to do research on ESPN about the potential ‘Cinderella’ teams but I got stuck on the fact that one of the experts is Dan Dakich (an Indiana radio guy, former IU coach for a day, and current AAU coach) and the other is Doug Gottlieb (the name Doug triggers a vomit reflex – I can’t explain it).  Isn’t there a Mel Kiper Jr. equivalent for college basketball? Someone needs to tell me who will dominate and who will flop…accurately.

I never do well on the NCAA brackets. I usually end up spending a lot of time and conducting my own Wikipedia style research only to fail miserably.

I should not get so worked up. 


PS - I really like Dan Dakich. He is a great commentator and analyst.
