NCAA's Round 1 Complete - A couple of thoughts.

Well - My bracket is officially gone out the window as of the first weekend results. 

Pitt - a disappointing loss after surging at the end of the year, taking the Big East Tourney title. 
Duke - really struggling in the tourney and really beginning with the loss to Clemson in the ACC tourney. 
Western Kentucky - showing up big in their first two games. 
Davidson - this year's Butler??  Is that Curry a good player or what? 
UCLA - in the midst of a questionable call once again (A&M game).  They may be in trouble if they keep playing from behind the whole game.  Wisconsin - exceeding my expectations, though not a lot of other's according to postings on the message boards.

All in all a great tourney so far.  NC looked very good last game, Kansas seems to be holding strong.  I really would have loved to see a Kansas / NC final, but since we can't I can only dream about it.

Good luck to all the teams.  I'll be glued to my computer screen come Thursday afternoon!

About College Hoops / Postseason
Wow! With the regular season winding down and the post season tournaments getting ready to begin, I can't remember a season with so many at large bids up in the air! The interesting thing to me is: Will the selection committee reward a team like Davidson, whose preconf. schedule was brutal. They did come close, but didn't win any of those games. Or, will the selection committee go with how these teams that scheduled very tough, but didn't do well, but are competing well in conference play. It'll probably come down to this: Ask the question of these bubble teams -- Who did you beat on the road (quality wins) and who didn't you loose to at home (bad losses). The funny thing is, some of the teams to be considered a bad loss back in November, is now considered a 'quality' loss. And visa versa. March Madness gotta love it!!
