March Madness
Welcome everyone to the debut of WTS BETSKETBALL!!
Our brackets have maaaaaybe a few more hours of remaining unbusted. Tonight is the “unofficial/official” start to the tournament with the First Four! Congratulations to MSU for trying their best to be neither a basketball nor football school. Still, a bid is a bid. They get to play another former powerhouse in UCLA for the honor of losing in the Round of 64! But as a former Spartan myself, I have them making a deep run in one of my brackets. So I hope they win a little. The Big Ten was exceptional this year, so they may surprise people.
As for the rest of the Big Ten, they are expected to fare much better! The Big Ten Champs finally secured a #1 Seed after a long hiatus, and hopefully they play better in the championship game this time around.
That’s right, Illinois is looking to reclaim their former glory. The end of 2005 was tough for them, but they have one of the best teams in the tournament and can make a deep run. Most people believe they can even win it all. Unfortunately, they are competing against the other Big Ten juggernaut this year.
Ohio State was a few shots away from claiming the Big Ten Tournament Crown, and is finally turning the page on flunking the last few minutes of each game. If Holtmann and company can play smart and aggressive in the final minutes like the do in the first 35, then the Buckeyes are in for a great time. Please someone remind EJ Liddell that he shouldn’t fumble the ball every possession with 2:30 left in the 2nd Half. You were 2x (!!!) Illinois Mr. Basketball for god’s sake. Let Duane get his shots up, drop 40 and raise that banner.
Looking at the rest of the field, nothing is certain. Hopefully we can see quite a few upsets (let’s go Colgate). Gonzaga looks crazy, Baylor is vulnerable on defense, and Alabama (??) is looking to be Florida of 2007. GOD DAMNIT WHY DID I BRING THAT UP GET OUT OF MY HEAD JOAKIM NOAH YOU GEICO CAVEMAN BITCH….ok I’m fine, it’s fine. They gave the MOP of that game to Corey Brewer because everyone else on the team was getting sonned by Greg Oden who finished with 25 points 12 Rebounds and 4 Blocks. But whatever.
Things are shaping up to be an exhilarating tournament. We’re finally back! For the first time since 2019, we have March Madness again! Get Gus Johnson on the call, your shredder on deck, and a good excuse as to why your work productivity went to zero for 2 weeks; It’s Tourney Time!!!
