Ah, it's that time of year again. Birds are coming out of hiding and chirping at the crack of dawn; the buds of newborn flowers are slowing beginning to peak out from beneath the soil; my mom is dashing around the house with her vacuum cleaner and dusting cloth, cleaning frantically from room to room; and most substantially, the NCAA tournament is kicking into full gear. My dad has been practically glued to the television set watching back to back games from noon to midnight. Numerous guys on my floor have filled out their tournament brackets, predicting which teams will win and which will lose. It seems to be that North Carolina and Duke are favorites on my floor to win it all.
I'm definitely a basketball fan, but sometimes watching game after game after game gets a little tiring. The majority of this weekend at home, however, was spent doing just that. I actually didn't stay up to watch the Indiana game on Friday night but was not quite that surprised by the result. Indiana, sadly to say, is going home after a first round loss to Arkansas. If they had won, though, it was very unlikely that they could've stood their ground against a team like UNC, especially if they continued playing like that had been. Lucky for us, Purdue was also knocked out of the tourney this weekend after a second round loss to Xavier. This game was pretty competitive and entertaining to watch; both teams fought until the end. I was thoroughly elated when Duke lost to West Virginia; they were probably my least favorite team playing. I'm glad they are out of it. Right now, I'm kind of out of a team to root for. I was hoping a team from Indiana would take it all. I guess Butler is our last hope. Let's just hope they can withstand Tennessee tomorrow...
