You hear that sound fellas? That’s the sound of a bunch of Davids readying the slingshot to slay the Goliaths in the dance. Either that or it’s the sound of me peeing my pants in anticipation. They’re very similar.
I love championship week. The Big East tournament already gave us the biggest upset of the week with Syracuse beating UConn on a buzzer beater by Gerry McNamara in overtime. This is going to be so much better when say, UNC Wilmington beats Memphis next weekend.
The story was even better in the Atlantic 10 where all the higher seeds were upset on Thursday. The biggest one being #6 ranked George Washington losing to unranked Temple by 15 points.
Need some upset picks in your bracket? ESPN Magazine came up with 5 teams that could pull off a big upset: Old Dominion, UNC Wilmington, Northern Iowa, Murray State, and Pacific. I love the name Salukis but Southern Illinois is a flawed team according to this article. Good luck in the pool. I’ve already resigned myself to losing so I won’t been too disappointed when a couple of my Final Four picks get wiped out on day 2.
