"Did you fill out your bracket?" ..... I heard that question several times this past week. I never seem to get around to it. Hell there's 68 teams involved. I maybe have an semi-informed opinion on five or six. Anything else would be guessing blindly.
Some fill out multiple brackets. Guess they aren't all that committed to some of their choices. But then how could you be? Not with the usual amount of strange and unexplainable occurances that take place in the tournament each year. One might as well just flip a coin. Heck, a number one and number two seed have already been knocked out and the round of 32 isn't over yet.
I'm of the opinion that all the teams seeded anywhere from three to fourteen are pretty much equals anyway. And on any given day any of them are capable of knocking off most of the one and two seeds. I don't think seeding matters all that much. It's an advantage but not as much as it's made out to be. They still have to win the actual games. The main factors in my mind? ..... A team needs to be playing well going into the tournament and get on a roll or be lucky enough to get a few games close to home where they can get a sizeable group of followers behind them.
Watched the postgame locker room speech to his team by the Georgia State coach, Ron Hunter, after his team had been knocked out of the tournament. Loved what he had to say.
