Two down, four to go

24 March 2008
louisville 2008 NCAA tournament
Over the years of doing horrible in the NCAA tournament, I decided to go with a different approach: Pick a team to win it all that no one else will pick. With everyone picking UNC, Kansas and UCLA; you have to make sure you pick up as many of the first and second round games that you can to pull ahead by a few extra points at the end.

This year, my new approach was to pick a team that no one else would pick. If they could make a run to the championship game, or even the final four, I figure that I'll pick up a bunch of extra points that no one else will. The worst case scenario being that my team will lose early and I'll be where I'm at every year.

After being impressed with a few games out of the regular season, my team this year is Louisville. They've had two blowouts so far, and could've coasted into the Elite Eight if Butler would've pulled off the upset in overtime against Tennessee.

I might be the only person outside the state of Kentucky to take them all the way, but with four more wins it'll pay off taking a risk. Here's to being the underdog for the rest of the tournament.
