Who doesn’t love this time of the year? When the NCAA Tournament comes along we get basketball all day everyday, which is very dope. Like any other year before it, countless people filled out their own brackets and just like always many people have failed. To put it simply this tournament has been pure madness, as teams that we all had penciled in as winners were taken out early.
I was going to fill out a bracket but I know I would have been dead wrong. I think one of the more interesting aspects of the tournament isn’t necessarily that good team were knocked out but the fact that the top NBA college prospects have been mostly knocked out now. Losing early in the tournament last year is the reason why Marcus Smart stayed another year, will the other stars that were knocked out early do the same? Will failure to deliver on the big stage hurt any of those players draft stock.
Also having a lot of the big names out will be very interesting as players that may not have been on the radar will now have a very big stage to shine on. Also the top teams who play team ball will get more of a chance to shine with the bigger names also out of the picture.
At this point its pointless to make any predictions. With games going on as I type I’m not even setting myself up to sound dumb. One of the number one seeds has already been knocked out, so that should show how unpredictable this tournament truly is. Out of the teams left I expect Virginia, Florida, Louisville and Arizona to make the Final Four, don’t quote me though.

Was good though, it's me Everick Davis Jr. Born and raised in Portsmouth Virginia, I'm currently a senior at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. I watch every sport (not so much golf) but I am huge on the NBA. My favorite players right now are J.R. Smith, Russell Westbrook & Nick Young. Drinking beer and watching sports is my favorite past time and I do it year round! I used to play basketball on the regular until everyone else kept growing and I still stood at 5'6. So that's when I channeled my efforts into becoming the next Stephen A Smith or anything close to that. I currently write for "The Carolinian" newspaper in Greensboro, NC and intern for http://theurbantwist.com/ Random Fact about me, I love anime, my favorite one is One Piece!
