It’s an ‘Upset’ Tournament

Share This Post

Well folks, if you watched any college basketball during the regular season, you would know no team is standing alone for being the best in the nation. Many people don’t watch college basketball until March. Crazy but I get it. There are A LOT of games going on and to watch some teams may be boring unless you are like me and LOVE basketball. I’ll admit, women’s basketball is hard for me to watch most the time, but I can watch just about any men’s basketball any time and be happy.

Football fans know what I’m talking about. You can not be a fan of either team and just watch the games because you LOVE the sport. Well, I have watched many teams play and tried to pick many teams that would be good for the tourney this year. I’ll be damned! What a waste of F’N time! I told many people that I thought some of the big teams such as Michigan State or North Carolina could make a big run at the title. Shows what I think I know. I also told people that I thought this tourney could be the biggest cluster ever! It has proven just that, but in a great way for college basketball.

First, let me get it off my chest.

I missed history being made by UMBC (#16 seed) beating the life out of Virginia (#1 seed). As a huge basketball fan, I was pissed when I woke up Saturday morning to go make a dollar (this is why I went to bed early and missed HISTORY ️) and look to see VA get their ass handed to them by UMBC. I knew I was reading the score wrong! Anyone ever heard of UMBC? Not I!!!!

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County?!?!?!? WTF?! Sounds like a tech school or some shit. Any who, they made history being the first ever #16 seed to beat a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. And your boy MISSED it! Stupid! Still can’t stop kicking myself over it. If you are a VA fan, burn all your VA shit now! Maybe Coach Bennett will get past trying to keep teams from scoring over 50 points because it didn’t work and honestly, it’s boring as hell. You deserved to LOSE! That was harsh. Thanks UMBC! Sorry, I missed it!

Let’s go down the line and look at a team whom had the best player in the nation….Arizona. These cats got thumped by the Buffalo Bulls. Yeah, THUMPED! Me being a realistic UK fan, and after a lot of praying and seeing how UK almost got beat by Davidson, I was nervous for my CATS. Then I realized, my CATS can run with this Buffalo team. Well, after some drinks and yelling at the tv like they can hear me, they decided to pull away and beat Buffalo. I appreciate Buffalo a lot though because Arizona would’ve been a bad match up for UK. So THANKS Buffalo! Wooo! Sweet 16! C.A.T.S- CATS, CATS, CATS!

Back to the upsets and the teams that F’d a lot of brackets up this year already. Syracuse! Usually not the team you think of when messing up a bracket. BUT, they did! Syracuse was a team many people thought shouldn’t have been in the tourney. And they go and beat one of the best teams… Michigan State! Damn it!!!! If you can’t tell, I had MSU winning one of my brackets. Oh well! That’s why I don’t gamble money!

Loyola-Chicago…. Although they f’d me on my brackets, I’ll take it when Tennessee goes home! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Loyola-Chicago came in and beat Miami as well but Miami is a choker so no biggie on that one. Which brings me to another choker. Wichita State! I’m sorry but LMAO! WSU is a team I can NOT stand! Waaaay too much hype and over ranked in my opinion. Go play Kansas, Kansas State and some other Big 12 teams EVERY year, then I will give you my respect. I must say, Marshall filled my heart with joy when they beat them. THANKS! Yes, I picked Marshall to win that game as well!  Go ME!

Texas A&M putting it down on UNC! Daddy likes! Not a fan of UNC but I thought they’d make a good run at the SHIP. A&M is starting to show why in preseason they were expected to be one of the best teams in the nation. Having everyone on your roster back is always nice! Unless you’re UNC!

Florida State beats Xavier! Big upset! I must say, I didn’t see FSU getting past first game but beating Xavier too!?!?!? ‍. I watched Xavier and Nova play earlier this year, once again- thinking it’d help me out on my brackets (STUPID!), and I was impressed even though they lost to Nova that game. FSU… great job in pulling off the upset!

Let’s finish this up and get ready for some more exciting basketball next weekend. Some teams that look real good…. Villanova is by far the best team so far. May be the front runner now. PUKE, whoops! Duke looks close behind Nova as a stellar pick (DAMN! That hurts the heart to say that!) and if you look at UK’s path- hold your tongue just right, cross fingers and toes, promise your first born son to the devil (NO, I haven’t done it…. Yet! J/K hahaha but seriously, not yet ), UK may be able to squeak into the Final Four, if not the Championship.
