NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon

Gaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Ok, this installment is complete. It takes you through 6:45 pm. None of the winning teams that played Tuesday night are appearing until the evening so the results are not relevant.

Do I have some favorites? Sure. Rhode Island because they’re Rhode Island and I live in Connecticut, plus Oklahoma. Wright State because they’re not Tennessee. Gonzaga because TMC thinks they have a cool name (ok, it is a cool name). Penn because Kansas (they actually match up well, this could be an upset).

Iona because they’re not Duke. Loyola because they’re not the ‘Canes. South Dakota State because everyone from Michigan hates the Buckeyes with the deep burning passion of 1,000 Suns. Seaton Hall- Go Big East.

With any luck at all when you read this I will be unconscious, but I’ll be up soon enough because it’s March Madness and getting it right the first pass is key to maintaining it which will just get easier.

Two Hundred Fifty Eight games in about 3 weeks! One Hundred Thirty Two teams!

Call me Crazy Eddie because I am insaaaaaane!
