March Madness

Every year I get so excited for the basketball tournaments to begin, and clearly I'm not the only one. This year I haven't had enough time to actually sit down and watch the games like I've wanted to. This year, I haven't had to watch the games to realize that my bracket is doomed. Judging by the amount of upsets in this year's tournament, I don't think I'm the only one this has happened to. From looking at the individual regions, it seems I wouldn't be doing too bad, but of the Final Four, North Carolina was the only one I got right (and I'm still hoping they win!). No matter how bad my bracket turns out, this has always been one of my favorite times of the year. You never know what will happen, especially in the women's bracket. Tennessee lost in the first round. That was the first time Pat Summitt's team didn't make it to the Sweet Sixteen. I was so disappointed! I know they had a rough season, but the first round? Wow. I'm still hoping Oklahoma loses. I won't exactly be excited to see Connecticut go undefeated, but I think I would rather see them win than the Sooners. I know it sounds mean, but I think the main reason I don't want Oklahoma to win is because of the deal Courtney Paris made. She said that if Oklahoma didn't win the tournament this year, she would pay back all of her scholarship money, a total of around $64,000. Like I said, it's mean, but I'm not a huge fan of the Paris sisters.
