I am so clueless when it comes to college basketball. However, I love competition and will always fill out a bracket or two as long as it is with people I know. I usually spend a considerable amount of time filling out different
brackets with the hopes of winning at least one of the leagues.
In the current March Madness competition I am in two online leagues. One with the Church staff and the other with the Senior High students. And this time I filled my brackets out in haste and submitted the same brackets twice. At the beginning of the tournament, I would check online to see how my picks were and they seemed mediocre at best. So, being neither disappointed or elated, I figured that I would end the competition in the middle of the pack and haven't checked the standings. I definitely didn't have the time or interest in sitting down and watch any of the games for an extended period (I've spent more time writing this post than I have watching College Basketball this year). This past week I went to our midweek program (Crave Wednesday's) and one of the students came up to me and said, "Quite the competition with the brackets, Huh?!" I tried to find a way to fake that I knew where things were with the standings but I had to quickly admit that I was pathetic and had no idea what was going on. He then shared that I was tied for second place and that if UConn and North Carolina go the the final game, I will win. I was shocked! I feel like the person who made my picks based on the color of the jersey or the ferocity of their mascot. After checking both competitions, if UNC and UConn win and UNC beats UConn in the final, I will win both competitions.
In the words of Dick Vitale: "Yeah Baby!"
