When Rick Pitino said on ESPN Friday that Kansas was going to choke against Richmond, I figured it was because he still had a grudge against Kansas beating his Kentucky team 150-95 twenty years ago. Turns out he was right after all, he was just one game off.

I did have Kentucky playing in the championship game, but I don’t think that’s going to be enough to save me.

A story on [MSNBC](http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/42298602/ns/sports-college_basketball/) had the following quote: “ESPN, which sponsors one of the country’s biggest bracket tournaments, said that out of 5.9 million entries, only two had this foursome making its way to Houston.”
