Just Another Shattered Slipper

After the weekend festivities across the nation I now sit back and reflect upon how the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament went. The conclusion I have come to is a lack of Cinderellas making it to the sweet sixteen or even out of the first round. The highest seed in the regional semi's this year is #7 UNLV Runnin' Rebels who many think got a lower seed than they should of. This compared to last years sweet sixteen consisting of 2 #7s (Wichita St & Georgetown), 1 #11 (George Mason) and 1 #13(Bradley).

Honestly, I am a little disappointed in this past weekend's games. Granted my bracket is doing extremely well, aside from the Oral Roberts, Illinois losses in the first round and the second round loss by Winthrop, I am sitting pretty good. This does not quench my thirst for the big upsets though, that is what makes this tournament great.

The absence of Cinderellas will not keep me from watching however, this still is my favorite tournament. I will just have to root for the Runnin' Rebels and my brackets, and pray for a plethora of buzzer beaters if I can't have my upset special.

Going, going, gone
