On March 14, of the 64 teams selected to enter the 2012 NCAA tournament, I picked Tennessee, Maryland, Stanford, and Connecticut to make it to the hallowed Final Four … and Connecticut to win it all.
Well I suppose it’s a good thing I have no allegiance to any of these teams and couldn’t care any less which one eventually wins the national championship. Because not a single one of my teams made it through to the Sweet 16 – as the following matchups confirm.
Kentucky vs. Indiana; Syracuse vs. Wisconsin
Baylor vs. Xavier; Cincinnati vs. Ohio State
Michigan State vs. Louisville; Marquette vs. Florida
North Carolina vs. Ohio; NC State vs. Kansas
Nevertheless, to feign continued interest in the outcome, I hereby choose the Kentucky women to match my choice of the Kentucky men to win it all.
