Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post had a column about how hard this weekend was on people’s brackets and why. One of the few columns of his that I actually liked. [Check it out.](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13603-2004Mar21.html)

If anyone feels like doing some pitting of their brackets or opposing teams I’ll direct them to this thread in the pit:

Huh, that’s not an NCAA Pit thread, that’s an “I’m a Duke fan and must sow misery and discontent among all other college basketball fans” thread. You can’t fool me.

I came in 7th. Lady didn’t get her picks in on time, so Yahoo! scored 'em all zero for her.  
I was diappointed with OSU. I think Sutton wasted his last time out, should’ve let GT come down and then call his timeout (if needed) to set up his last second offense. But, what do I know? He _is_ the winningest current coach in Tourney play. Just not the Big One.

Obviously, Kentucky really surprised me. LOSERS! 😉

**Congrats to U-Conn, winners in Mens _and_ Womens NCAA Tourney! Now _that_ is an accomplishment.**
