We head to the Sweet Sixteen and it's still fairly wide open. As predicted, the Bunch of Chieftans have made their middle move and eyeing the leader in the clubhouse after the first two rounds, the Three Amigos. Buoyed by #1 seeds Kansas and Indiana, the Bunch rides into the 16 with two other upset winners in the under seeded Oregon Ducks and the exciting FGCU Golden Eagles. The Bunch is poised to strike and the South Region bracket pits them against the Amigos in both match ups on Friday night. (Kansas-Michigan & FGCU-Florida)
The Amigos, set as 15-1 underdogs in the morning line are on top of the Calcutta thus far, and had this message to send to yours truly regarding the morning line:
Ok, so we know the Bunch and Amigos will be slugging it out in the South Region in Dallas Friday night, but who else is lurking around the top hoping they beat the brains out of each other?
The Elders are hanging around the water cooler and could sneak a team to the final four with wins by LaSalle and Ohio State on Thursday night in Los Angeles. That would give them 10 wins and likely a dangerous Ohio State team in the final four. Make sure you adjust your hearing aids boys, some sweet sixteen music could be playing your tune.
The Tax Men will hope to head into April with three solid shots to advance a team (or possibly two) to the final four. All three could advance in their sweet sixteen games, but the Elite Eight may get a tad sticky for the tax guys. Regardless, they've made a strong statement so far in the Calcutta and have a decent shot at cashing a check.
The Win-Docs are on life support and will need a Tom Izzo miracle to get them into the money. If they run the table they'll equal the Amigos current total. Might be time to pull the plug, docs.
The defending champs are down to their two best, Louisville and Miami, both schools playing good ball. They'll need to run the table to get to 12 wins to have the best shot at defending the 2012 chalise. The Counselors have made their case, but need a good closing argument to have a chance to dance.
The Catholic Boyz? Not surprising. Let me sing it for ya.....
As for the cellar-dwellers. Call the cops, the Cyclones got robbed. Yeah, that's sour grapes, but the Commish & Associate are looking to get out of the basement, and that's still the goal. Until the Warriors go down, we're not...dead yet.
Enjoy the Sweet Sixteen.......The Commish.
