This weekend had some of the best college basketball I have ever watched. Although Maryland’s games, and the ACC tournament as a whole are definitely at the top of that list, I cannot remember when I was this interested by the games in other conferences. It’s tourney time, and even though we got a higher seed that we probably should have (c’mon, let’s be honest here), this team’s got potential. It wouldn’t be March Madness though without some “wtf”s from the selection committee: Why put the last two national champions in the same bracket, potentially meeting in the second round? Why are Gonzaga and Oklahoma State not 1 seeds? Why, instead, do we have two 1 seeds that did not even win their respective conference tournaments? I’m sure there are more…

I love this year’s tourney though, just on the fact that I haven’t the slightest clue on who to pick to get to the Final Four. All ACC? Do you know how much that would rock? Anyway, time to sleep on it. Here’s to another kick ass weekend. Three days until the beach and seven until Florida. Rock on.
