This is my NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Bracket (as of 3/24/2008). I of course had a few upsets, and this definitely isn’t my best bracket by far. My problem is I am so biased towards certain teams and it usually comes back to haunt me…(I usually have Duke and Gonzaga in the lead 8, and often further than that. I still think North Carolina can win it even though Top Seed teams usually don’t…and don’t accuse me of hopping on the bandwagon, North Carolina is one of my favorite teams of all time! It was after all the college Michael Jordan went to.

My biased teams to pick every year are Duke, Gonzaga, North Carolina, and Syracuse and Wake Forest even though Syracuse and Wake Forest didn’t make it this year.

I am obviously disappointed in Duke and Gonzaga this year for going out so early. They are my only real upsets, along with Connecticut, who I really just went with because of gut instinct, I don’t really follow Connecticut too much.

I didn’t do too bad on this half of the bracket. I picked my obvious favorite, North Carolina, to win it all.

I Was of coarse disappointed to see USC and Gonzaga blow it, both in the first round.

I’m glad to see Washington State made it to the Sweet 16, on account of there my home state’s school and they usually don’t make it too far but have been doing pretty well this year.

In the west is where I really had problems. I am glad to see UCLA doing so well, but other than that I am pretty disappointed with the outcome of that area.

I picked BYU to beat Texas A&M, because BYU is not only my school, but because they are pretty underrated and are over due for some serious recognition, even though I knew them beating UCLA was a big stretch I figured they could at least take on Texas A&M.

I picked Connecticut to go pretty far because I think San Diego was just out of their league, and Drake was overrated. That obviously didn’t work out for me so well.
I also picked Georgia to win, despite my better judgment. I usually would have picked Xavier, but I guess I just predicted an upset and it didnt work out for me as well.

Duke is just a huge disappointment to me. I had them to go against North Carolina in the Finals, which would have been an epic game, but they blew it by losing to West Virginia, a team that I had going out in the first round.

On this half of the bracket I did pretty good in the South, but not so well in the West. In the south I picked Oregon to beat Mississippi because I really like that school, even though their basketball team isn’t the greatest, and I had Kentucky to beat Marquette, because I just don’t like Marquette.
