First weekend of NCAA tournament

Well, the first round of the NCAA tournament is over.

Here are the Sweet Sixteen Match ups:

West, UConn v. Purdue and Missouri v. Memphis

Midwest, Louisville v. Arizona and Kansas v. Michigan State

South, North Carolina v. Gonzaga and Syracuse v. Oklahoma

East, Pitt v. Xavier and Villanova v. Duke

Other than Purdue and Arizona, not many surprises this year. Disappointed in the Huskies' loss to Purdue, but they had a good year. The West has two teams, Gonzaga and Arizona. I don't care for Arizona, because they are nouveau riche and don't act with a lot of class, such as North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA.

The NCAA tournament is becoming like the NBA or NFL. More chalk and fewer upsets. Yes a Siena and Cleveland State can win a game, but two or three is nearly impossible. I do believe that one of the top seeds will fall this weekend, possibly Pitt, because they don't score enough in the last few minutes of a game.
