03/15/2007: "My bracket's already screwed up 2007"

I had FAMU losing to Kansas in the first round, not Niagra. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I filled that one out. I usually can't muster the attention to see #65 play #64.

And, since I usually only pay attention to College Basketball in late February, here's my poorly-researched Sweet 16 picks:

East:

UNC vs. Texas: And Texas will win.
Washington State vs. Georgetown: Go Big East!

South:

Ohio State vs. Tennessee: Nobody's gonna eliminate OSU for a while.
Louisville vs. Memphis: Former C-USA rivalry renewed.

West:

Pitt vs. UCLA: Or: at least I'd watch that game.
Kansas vs. Va Tech: I'd like to see Kansas-Wisconsin again with it all on the line.

Midwest:

Florida vs. Old Dominion: My Cinderella pick. There's always one school you've never heard of in the 16, and it can very well be good 'ol ODU(?)
Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin: ND to upset #3 Oregon (!) and Wisconsin to play Florida--

If I get any right, I'll consider picking the next round.


UPDATE (3/20):

Round 1: 24-8
Round 2: 9-7

So much for Old Dominion. Not a single 12 seed upset a 5 seed--
