Thursday Quick Hits: Let the Madness Begin

  • The NCAA tournament starts today at 12:20 p.m. ET. All of the action in the tournament can be seen live on your computer with March Madness on Demand. That includes Michigan’s game that begins tonight at 7:10 p.m. ET. If you can’t watch the game live on CBS, then fire up March Madness on Demand to see Michigan play Clemson.
  • My bracket can be seen here. I have Michigan beating Clemson and then losing to Oklahoma in the second-round. It was a pretty tough pick once I started to think about the matchup, especially since I’m not used to seeing Michigan when I’m filling out my bracket. Even so, I just couldn’t pick against Michigan since this was the first chance in a long time to pick them at all. Here’s to hoping my first-round pick is right and my second-round one is wrong.
  • President Obama’s bracket has been posted on ESPN.com, and his Final Four is very similar to mine. The only difference is that I have Villanova coming out of the East Regional instead of Pittsburgh. Other than, mine is exactly the same as his.
  • A common theme during Michigan’s NCAA tournament drought was starting the season with a promising record only to play mediocre basketball during conference play.
  • Robbie Czarnik and Ben Winnett are expected to play on Friday against Alaska in the CCHA semi-finals.

    Wooooooooohooooooooooooooo! We won an NCAA tournament game! Not to mention we pretty much dominated it but then almost blew it. I’m a happy guy, none the less.
