Random Thoughts – March 29th
El Pres “I Never Lose 8 In A Row” Mortal Locks
Ok so after losing two nail biters yesterday I’m on the threshold of doing the impossible. That’s right. Going 0-8 since the start of Sweet 16 round. Now granted I’m still 16-14 in the tournament so if you took all of my picks from the beginning for a dime each you could still take the little lady to the Oak Room for a fancy steak dinner and have enough left over to buy a couple t-shirts so I’m not sure what all the bitching and moaning is about. Sure, we had some tough breaks yesterday, but I say this with 100% confidence. I’ve never lost 8 straight college hoop games in my life. So get jacked and pumped because here comes to blowout winners from the Pres. You can thank me tomorrow.

MSU vs. Louisville -5.5
I think Louisville wins this game. I think Michigan State keeps it close. Is this stupid? I mean if I think Louisville is going to win should I assume they’ll hit enough free throws down the stretch to cover? I don’t know what to think anymore. Maybe this losing streak has gotten into my head after all. Don’t think just throw…..I’m the one driving the astrovan…
The Pick – MSU

Oklahoma vs. NC -7
Finally a game that I love! I’m going to put everything that I’ve lost on the last 6 games on Oklahoma here. This is a flat out pickem for me. Blake Griffin is too strong, too physical, and too mean for a pussy ACC team like North Carolina. In fact, don’t be surprised if Griffin actually dunks Tyler Hansbrough during the course of this game just to prove a point and Hansbrough gets called for a foul. Not only do I like OU to cover but I like them to win and join the rest of the Big East in the Final Four. And hopefully after this tournament is over the NCAA will take a long and hard look at possibly stripping the ACC of their automatic bid to the conference tournament winner since clearly they don’t deserve it.
The Pick - OU
