Are Your Brackets Busted?

I love watching March Madness!! So many games are decided in the final seconds. Every team has a chance to win every game. Maybe I should change that. Almost every team has a chance to win every game. 

This year there have been so many upsets during the first week of the NCAA Men's Tournament. It is so hard to tell who is going to win. Had I participated in a Bracket Challenge this year, my brackets would be so busted right now. I participated in a Tournament Challenge last year and my heart couldn't take it when the teams that I chose actually lost close games. This year, I decided to just sit back and watch. Boy, am I glad I did because the upsets this year are out of control!

People keep asking me who do I think is going to win. My first thought is I don't know. Then I say, Duke. I think that they have a really good chance of being the champions for the second year in a row. I would like to see North Carolina win. But, they have a tendency to get down by double digits in the first half and come back in the second half. That did not help them in the ACC finals against Duke and I think that may catch up with them eventually in this tournament. Florida State is also making an statement as a number 10 seed. I love my Tigers!! They won their first round game, but lost in the second round. I guess you can tell that I am an ACC girl.

1 number 1, 1 number 2, 2 number 3's, and 2 number 4's have already lost. It is going to be interesting to see what the this week brings. What ever it is it's going to be fun and exciting to watch!! I plan to be right in front of my television as it happens.
