It's all NCAA Tournament until further notice; the hell with everything else.
Some random thoughts on the bracket, which had a few surprises:
* Arizona is clearly the most questionable team in the tournament, though I don't discount the possibility that they can win the popular 12-5 upset.
* BC has the kind of draw where, due to their ability to either beat or lose to anyone, they could either go down in flames in the first round or streak to the Sweet 16. I'm still shocked at how highly they were seeded. It's not bad for a team that certain sports writers refused to believe was off the bubble as late as Friday afternoon.
* On the flip side, I'm surprised Clemson is a 7 seed like BC. I'd have stuck them at about a 6, but that loss to Georgia Tech must have really soured the committee on them.
* Mississippi State vs. Washington is a very interesting game to me.
* Hilltoppers with another 12-seed run to the Sweet 16? It is definitely not impossible.
* I am expecting Texas to beat Duke if both make the Round of 32 game.
* I've got a feeling that VCU is going to be trouble for UCLA.
More composed thoughts coming up on the BC/USC game at some point this week (I mean, I have until Friday, I can take my time!)
