Time to go Dancing

While hockey and lacrosse tend to take up most of my time and brain space, I feel that the best sports weekend of the year is the first and second rounds of the NCAA Men's basketball tournament. What better is there for a sports fan to be able to watch all 58 games in some form or another. The Cinderellas, the upsets, Gus Johnson, all of those factors and more make the tournament so special. So while I dont follow college basketball at all really, I do normally make a bracket. So here are my picks for the tournament and I will come on here and update my feelings on the games and whatnot.

East
Winners of the 1st Round: North Carolina, Arkansas, George Mason, Washington St, St. Joes, Louisville, Butler, Tennessee
Winners of the 2nd Round: North Carolina, George Mason, Louisville, Tennessee
Winners of the Sweet 16 Round: North Carolina, Tennesse
Winner of the East: North Carolina

Midwest
Winners of the 1st Round: Kansas, UNLV, Villanova, Vanderbilt, USC, Wisconsin, Davidson, Georgetown
Winners of the 2nd Round: Kansas, Villanova, Wisconsin, Georgetown
Winners of the Sweet 16 Round: Villanova, Georgetown
Winner of the Midwest: Georgetown

South
Winners of the 1st Round: Memphis, Mississippi St., Michigan St., Pittsburgh, Marquette, Stanford, St. Mary's, Texas
Winners of the 2nd Round: Memphis, Pittsburgh, Marquette, Texas
Winners of the Sweet 16 Round: Memphis, Texas
Winner of the South: Texas

West
Winners of the 1st Round: UCLA, Texas A&M, Drake, San Diego, Purdue, Georgia, West Virginia, Duke
Winners of the 2nd Round: UCLA, Drake, Purdue, Duke
Winners of the Sweet 16 Round: UCLA, Duke
Winner of the West: UCLA

Final Four
North Carolina vs. Georgetown - North Carolina
Texas vs. UCLA - UCLA

Final
North Carolina vs. UCLA - North Carolina

P.S. For those wondering what games Gus Johnson is calling, here they are:
Michigan State vs. Temple
Pittsburgh vs. Oral Roberts
Washington State vs. Winthrop
Notre Damn vs. George Mason

Ironic that all of the games are either 4 vs. 13 or 5 vs. 12 and that the George Mason game is in there as well?
