March Madness


It certainly was madness this weekend. Here’s a write up from Marshall and that was BEFORE Xavier, Michigan State, UNC, and Cincinnati all got knocked out...... 

This week I told Drake, "In your life, you'll never see a 16 beat a 1."  Dad learned a lesson last night.  If you haven't been following, Virginia (seeded #1) lost by 20+ to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (seeded #16).  No, I've never heard of them either.  This has never been done before. A truly historic event.

In addition to those who had Arizona, Virginia wrecked a lot of brackets who had them winning it all.  Given the upsets, don't give up!  Still a lot of basketball left to play.  However, you're going to have to compete with the Marshall boys.  Jacki and Sean's boys are currently tied at the top!  How did they do it?  Advanced analytics using next-gen stats?  Deep Learning AI algorithms?  Nope.  Almost five year old Ari has his own logic: His last name is "Marshall", so of course they'll beat the 4 seed.  He likes Buffaloes.  Yeah, they're going to bust a four seed too.  And #10 Butler?  Because, well...Butt.  Mom is so proud.

Good luck to all!
