The Madness Begins
This past weekend was one of the wildest in recent memories. Two, Three, Four, and Five seeds were dropping like flies in the rain, and the Cinderella story is still building into this weekend with the Sweet 16 on the Horizon. But enough with the mushy stuff lets get you a recap.
Chicago, Illinois
We start in Chicago bracket were a giant killer in the 12 seed University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee who stunned the 5 seed Alabama and then went one to beat a very good Boston College team who won the Big East regular season title. 11th seeded UAB humbled LSU who was given a generous 6 seed, and the Arizona Wildcats a consistent national powerhouse beat Utah St. and UAB to move to the Sweet 16. The 2 seed Oklahoma St. crusied into the Sweet 16 with convincing victories over SE Louisiana and Southern Illinois.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
In Albuquerque 1 seed Washington Huskies(no one who has ever watched them can figure out how they got a 1 seed but that is neither here or there) cruise past Montana and 8th seeded Pacific to face one of the most explosive offensive teams in the nation the Cardinal of The University of Louisville. 4th seeded Louisville strugled to put away a tough 13 seed in La Lafayette and pounded Georiga Tech in a lopsided 18 pt victory. Bobby Knight and his Red Raiders of Texas Tech beat a very tough 3 seed in Gonzaga to face arguably the hottest team in the nation out of the Big East the Mountianeers of West Virgina who two weeks ago was on the bubble not to even make the Big East tournment, beat ACC powerhouse and 2 seed Wake Forest in double overtime with some great big man performances.
Syracuse, New York
Syracyse is probably my favoriate bracket not only because this is where my national champion resides in UNC but the biggest upset of the tournament thust far, but we will start with the 1 seed North Carolina Tarheels who are just hammering everyone they have come in contact with an average margin of victory of about 27 over Okland and Iowa St. The 5 seed and only team in the local of UD that is left in the big dance is Villanova who after 18 years have returned to the Sweet 16 to face UNC. The one game that killed a lot of brackets was the Kansas/Bucknell game in which Bucknell from the Patriot Leauge absolutly neutralized Wayne Simen who is up for a player of the year award and took the game from Kansas and killed anyones dreams of seeing Roy Williams the UNC coach face his former team in the Kansas Jayhawks. The 14th seeded Bucknell gave 6th seeded Wisconsin all they could handle before they gracefully bowed out in a nine point loss. Wisconsin will play another hot team in N.C. State who at a 10 seed beat Charlotte and upset the second seeded and defending national champion Huskies of UConn.
Austin, Texas
In Texas cudos goes out to a very scrappy Delaware State team that gave the 1 seed Duke Blue Devils hell for all forty minutes and only lost by nine points. Duke then went on to beat the nine seed Mississippi State to face a team that is not stranger to national titles in the Michigan State Spartans. They defeated the CAA champion Old Dominion in a very good game. Another 4 seed is humbled as the Big East conference tournament champion Syracuse Orangemen were defeated by America East Champion Vermont and NBA prospects TJ Sorenstene and Taylor Coppinwrath. Vermont then fell short to Michigan State. The 6 seed Utah out of the Mountian West was very convincing in their two victories beating a scrappy UTEP team and the 3 seed Oklahama Sooners to face the Kentucky Wildcats who slid past E. Kentucky and Cinny in the second round.
The Sweet 16 should be great and I will definetly keep you all updated so don't hesitate to comment if you have a question and go to ESPN if you have any bracket questions.

Those locations are far spread out, how does that work. Does each team belong to a certain region, or do you just travel to whatever team in your division?
