Okay, re: Game #32 (Temple vs. Cal/U So. Fl) - Cal got their asses handed to them tonight by U. So. Fl. so in the MM game (Temple vs. U. So. Fl) on 3/16 my pick is U. So. Fl. over Temple.

Bronco.
 
























I love the Spartans. They did me right during football season.

I would have picked Kentucky to win it all, then they went and lost the SEC tournament to Vanderbilt. Really?
 






Oh man. Bronco"s Mizzou got beaten by Norfolk St????? Yikes. And Lehigh is trying to spank Duke. What a year.
 






I was doing pretty good up until today.

Norfolk is much better than a 15th seed. They took all the wind out of my sails with that win over Mizzou. There goes my 2012 brackets. I had Mizzou going to at least the Final 8 in all my brackets. Fuck it. I hope a 7th seed or higher takes the entire tourney. I would love to see Norfolk or Lehigh take the trophy home. Wouldn't that be a hoot?

Hat tip to Tinker for picking Norfolk (100 to 1 odds). Did you pick Norfolk just cuz you hate Mizzou - or did you actually think Norfolk had a chance going in, Tinker?
