Come on Kentucky!! You are my last hope of even having a winning bracket. While I only filled out a bracket for myself this year, Kentucky is the only team I have that has a shot at winning the big game. Lots of teams have made this year a great year to watch. Upset after upset. No 1 seed falling after another. Not just the typical 12 vs 5 seed upset, but craziness all over the place. The Big10 showed up big time this year after the first two rounds…alas only Michigan State still stands in the Elite Eight.

Of course those who went to college and their alma mater doesn’t make it into the tournament, like mine this year…again…you have to root for someone. For Cyndi and I, that was Northern Iowa. Northern Iowa is part oft he Missouri Valley Conference which is is the conference Bradley is in. While Bradley wasn’t even good enough to make it to the NIT this year, we rooted for our conference brother as they beat Kansas. It brought back memories of when Bradley made it to the dance and then the sweet sixteen, taking down Kansas then too. Unfortunately N. Iowa lost yesterday to Michigan State.

So as the Elite Eight kick off and then going all the way down to the final show next week…I root for Kentucky. Hopefully your bracket is busted too.
