March Madness Indeed - - Who Ya Got?

Throwing you a bender because I just thought you should know...

After careful study, severe analysis of rosters and scouting reports, and my six year old daughter picking her favorite colors on uniforms, I am going with Kent State to win it all in college basketball this post season! At this point, I see the Golden Flashes with the best chance to cut down the nets in "TBD" on Wednesday, April 3.

But, I am also leaning towards Purdue to emerge as champion by winning a best-of-three finals match up against Wyoming.

On the other hand, it is easy to see how my brackets will show Virginia conquering all foes and being crowned champion in April as well.

But my heart still lies with Ohio State continuing their current run and making all Buckeye opponents completely frustrated by Aaron Craft and his incredible defense. Therefore, they will be college basketball title holders come April in Atlanta, right?

As it turns out, I may be right with each prediction and I could end up as King of the Brackets. All I have to do is correctly predict and fill out the brackets for ALL FOUR men's college basketball tournaments this spring. Indeed, March is truly Mad as we have a quartet of tournaments to follow!
So who have you picked to dominate the field and win the CBI, the College Basketball Invitational? Sixteen teams have been invited to participate including programs such as Purdue, Texas, and George Mason - all past NCAA tournament teams. They advance through single elimination brackets until reaching a best-of-three match up for the title in early April with the Finals site not yet even determined!
Well, maybe you aren't as familiar with those teams so you have to lean towards perfecting your brackets for the 32 teams in the College Insider Tournament. This one is single elimination all the way and is the 5th annual playing of this tournament. You are completely familiar with it by now right?
Maybe your alma mater qualified for the National Invitation Tournament. Of course, this is usually a disappointing invitation to receive but at least you know where the Finals will be held if you advance that far! Thirty two more teams will square off in this ex-prestigious tournament and could use a championship here to springboard themselves to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2014.
Finally, we have 68 more teams starting play this week in the biggest event, the NCAA Tournament, hoping to win six straight games and party in Atlanta. Apparently, this is the most popular tournament since declines in work productivity at job sites can actually be determined based on the attention and time put into completing brackets. No one has yet to skip a conference call or miss a meeting so they can fill out their CBI bracket.

March Madness is absolutely here and nothing excites a college campus like sporting your brand new College Insider Tournament Champion T-shirt and hat! So get behind those 148 teams qualifying for post season basketball and pick yourself a winner, or four!

All this because I know more about nothing...
