My bracket this year sucks. I am the basketball version of the hopeless romantic. I pick Davids instead of Goliaths. Yet in the past coupld of tourneys Goliath has been bigger and badder.
Last year all 4 top seeds made it to the final four, and no real darling outside of Davidson. This year, there were few non-bcs teams even in the at-large field, and none in the Elite Eight. The only three non-bcs teams in the Sweet 16 are your typical powers: Xavier, Gonzaga, and Memphis. Everywhere I look there is more chalk than you can find scribbled in the cells of men suffering solitary confinement. It appears the strong are getting stronger to the dismay of Big East, UNC, and Duke haters everywhere.
So, I am left wandering when or if there will be another George Mason? Or will I be ever imprisoned in boring, plain, maddening chalk?
