DAY 1: MARCH SADNESS!


Today was a great 13-hour day of hoops. I gotta tell yah, it’s not like back in university where we could truck for 13 hours of hoops and be ready for more. Trust us, we’re ready for more, but a full day of Madness is tiring! Can I get an ay-men!?!? Can I get a nap time!?!?!

There were some great Madness Moments, especially with the shocking #14 Harvard handing Mountain West Conference Champ, New Mexico a shocking loss (although the Mountain West were 1-3 today showing how over-rated they were). There was #1 Gonzaga being brought to the wire by a #16 seed scare. Plus there were the almost-buzzer beaters with St. Mary’s, Matthew Dellavadova missing a last second 3-pointer to win and Marquette’s steal of a win from Davidson.

But as old as I’ve gotten, so has the announcing for the games. You wouldn’t have known that Harvard toppling New Mexico was a huge upset as the announcing crew mine as well have been Hans freaking Moleman!!!! They forced the nap outta Jalen Rose in Bill Simmon’s man cave and outta the Insanity Staff at J-Dawg’s Asylum today.

And Delly would’ve made his buzzer beater if it wasn’t for the Curse of Gus! CBS/TNT/TruTV and whatever the other network that covers the Madness, will you sign Gus Johnson back to the Madness!!!! PLEEEEEEEAAASSEE!!!!!! Ever since Gus has not called any games in the Madness, there have been zero classic buzzer-beaters in the 3 years he’s been gone. The announcing is so timid that Jim Nantz seems exciting!

WE NEED GUS BACK!!!!!

There were tight games in the first 8 morning games with Michigan State almost giving up a backdoor cover to Valpo, which almost gave the Insanity Crew at J-Dawg’s Asylum a heart-attack. Bucknell made a brief comeback to help our early parlay only to fade as did our profits tonight.

Gonzaga’s near loss almost gave Paulsen the world’s first heart-aneurism-ulcer! He wasn’t the only one this almost happened to either. But this game justified some pundits’ take that Gonzaga didn’t deserve a #1 seeding. They do deserve it, and they needed this game, as they haven’t had any pressure in 5-6 weeks due to their dominance of an admittingly weaker West Coast Conference. Gonzaga still has all the tools, and tonight’s pressure cooker was just the wake-up they needed to lay a whooping on Wichita State on Saturday to get back on track.

The Mountain West Conference came into the Madness with 5 teams that were considered darkhorse teams only to go 1-3! And the Pac-12 who did indeed have a weak season overall, gave us all a big eff-you with their 3-0 performance today.

In the pool, Cav Whitely has little to deflect with his first place tie with 14 of 16 games correct. He’s tied with Kirsten “Keertee” Taylor for first place overall.

It takes a while to click on everyone’s bracket, so if you had Harvard, you better speak out now! Get on the Message Board and claim your Smack of Day award just by declaring your Harvard pick!!! Do it!

Terry McKaig foolishly loses a Final 4 pick in losing New Mexico tonight in his bracket! Come on T! Syracuse and New Mexico? Alas, he is a mere contestant in the pool, which bodes well for all involved as his Commish conspiracy tactics in his Fantasy Baseball League is quite second-gunmen-on-the-grassy-knoll-like!



T, don’t forget about the Tertius Trunkaytus when making those picks next time will you!!!!

Tomorrow’s games look to be the day of upsets, as today was mainly favorites winning. The Insanity Staff likes a lot of the morning games to have favorites cover easily, and judging by J-Dawg’s and The Commish’s 1st day performance, that bodes well for the upset picks based on the Costanza Principle!

Costanza Principle [ko’stan^za prin-suh-puh l]: def’n: NOUN (?)
1.     By every betting instinct Dave Adolph makes is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right

Here’s looking at you Iona! Cuz I really Ohio State!

Enjoy the Madness tomorrow!

Yours in Madness,
Costanza Commissioner Adolph

Full On Bracket Breakdown!.....It's short too


Alrighty fellow Insanity Pool inmates, lets get something straight here…..it’s Madness Time! It’s Christmas! It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year! The upsets are blooming and the bracket buster picks are just ripe for the actual pickin! But as secret superhero Graeme Gordon and O’Grady Basketball Legend, Jordan Yu were forewarned, I’ll pick it up a notch and five-warn y’all…..IT’S MADNESS TIME! This shiz-nat is not for the faint at heart!

You gotta bring your picks up strong. Do you pick with emotion and pick your favorite team? Do you pick objectively? (i.e. loving UNC but not trusting them as far as I could throw Ford Marcotte!) How bout making your picks based on whether you’ve been to a particular campus or really really really like the team colors! There’s no rhyme or reason, so as Willis Adams said when we were in Grade 6, “Poop pamp Scoobie Doo!!!!!”

Willis and you’re picks will never make sense folks, so here’s the best non-sensical, non-frenzical, didn’t-use-a-penci-cal breakdown of each bracket!

Your picks no makey sensey? Me likey!

Trust me, I’ll make this as short as an acceptance speech at the Oscars…..I’ll frantically make as many picks I can once the band starts playing.

But first some trendy trends:

- There is no clear cut favorite this year like last year’s Kentucky Wildcats who had a stronger line-up then an episode of ER in 1996! This is evident in how most teams that received the #1 ranking on the Monday of each week, proceeded to lose their next game. It was like a shitty Pac-12 game this year where no one wanted to keep the #1 seed as no Pac-12 team wanted to win a game with any sense of quality basketball or freaking talent for that case.

- However, there is a chunk of teams that are in the Faves Zone. They have the ingredients, the depth, the coaching and the know how to make a run. But every single team in the Faves zone are capable of putting up a big honker on any game. It’s the biggest “Any Given Sunday” year in College hoops history as “on any given day, any given team can win”……to a point though, we’re not expecting a #16 seed to beat a #1 seed, as some Fox Sports hack-writer suggested about #1 Gonzaga losing to #16 Southern

Here’s what we’ll say to that Fox Sports hacko-wacko on his Gonzaga take! Click below:

And if you want the insight on the conferences,  The Big Ten is King! 5 of the 7 teams that qualified are legitimate National Title contenders in Indiana, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Michigan! The Big East has the most teams in the tourney with 8, but only two have a legit shot in Louisville and Georgetown. Marquette has sleeper pick written all over dem though. There’s some scrappiness coming outta the Mountain West Conference with their surprising amount of 5 teams. They’ll surprise everyone because no one paid attention to them this year. There’s some scrappiness from the Big 12 as well, but the biggest tank job is letting five Pac-12 teams into the Big Dance. I watched a lot Pac-12 games this year and although there were close games and exciting endings, the quality of basketball was as bad as the UConn-Butler National Title game a couple years back! Bee-rutal! Full of brutality the Pac-12 is this year.

One huge gut hunch I feel is what will rise to the top will be teams deep in athletic bigs. There are teams that have 3-4 bigs that can play versatile hoops as 2-guards or slashing wings, not to mention banging in the paint like Ryan “Turpentine” Paulsen! There will be upsets and wins due to being hot from 3-point land, but having these versatile bigs like Outhet Player of Year, Kelly Olynyk will make a difference, as well as Wisconsin’s plethora of slashin’ bigs that can call shoot the trey.

Enough chit chat, lets get to the Region by Region Smack!

MIDWEST REGION:
My initial take is that this seems to be the bracket where the Top 4 seeds will make it to the Sweet 16. There seems to be one bracket a year that pans out with minimal upsets. So #1 Louisville, #2 Duke, #3 Michigan State and #4 St. Louis should have some epics games against each other. Louisville is deep and keep an eye on Chase Behanan, he’s a game changer. Duke has no foot speed to counteract opponents drives to the hoop, but lucky for Duke Head Coach, Koach Krusty-the-Clown-ski and the most hated college basketball player of all time, Assistant Coach, Steve Wojo-never-was-any-good-ski there is not many teams in this bracket that can run as fast as a crowd of Patrick Ewing’s running to the Gold Club. Michigan State has the Izzo Factor as always with great guards that made shaky plays late in games lately, but Izzo will fix that before tip-off on Thursday. St. Louis is peaking at the right, winning the scrappy Atlantic-10 Tourney using the inspiration of the memory of legendary Head Coach, Rick Majerus’ death in the preseason. St. Lou is quite disciplined and run a typical Majerus meticulous game plan to a tee.

Some other teams/players to watch out for is tonight’s winner, St. Mary’s with All-Adolph First Teamer, Matthew Dellavadova willing the Gaels to a win and can negate Memphis’ strong backcourt in the second round.

Also, there is the Creighton squad with Doug McDermott who is the most versatile bigs in the nation as Creighton has offensive sets where McDermott will play all 5 positions during various sets. Stop the McD and you stop Creighton, and with Coach K’s game planning, they’ll probably lose to Duke, as they have the similar lack of foot speed as Duke.

The 8/9 game with Colorado State v. Missouri  should have Colly State’s bigs crush Mizzou’s overrated guard play from Phil Pressey.

WEST REGION:
This is Gonzaga’s year! It’s gotta be! They have the point guard in Kevin Pangos. And great wing in Elias Harris. Kelly Olynyk came outta no where for everybody (except Paulsen, Commish, and Kevin Brechin!) to become this year’s Outhet Player of the Year. But the Zag’s always get a bums rush for being the mid-major school . There was hesitance in ranking them #1 during the season as they should have been #1 two weeks before they were named. Plus not many pundits recognize their killer non-conference sked. Not many people realize that Gonzaga approaches many big name schools for lucrative non-conference games and they say no to the Zags. Is it Gonzaga’s fault that a KU will say no to coming into KU’s gym for a killer game? God knows that nobody will go to the Kennel to play the Zags! Bottom line, this is the deepest Zags squad since John Stockton’s butt-crack in his 80’s nutter-shorts!

The current bums rush is that Gonzaga is paired with the second most bum-rushed team in Wisconsin. All Wisky has done this year  is answer the bell in all their Big Ten games! They’ve run through the gauntlet all season and couldn’t get past #20 ranked in the county. And now a #5 seed? They’re freaking a Top 5 team overall! Trust me, when Wisconsin is playing at all cylinders, they’re arguably the best team in the nation. Look for the winner of the Gonzaga v. Wisconsin Sweet 16 match up to be the West Region’s Final Fo’ representative

Other takes:
There are a lotta Stay-Puft softies in this region with Notre Dame, Arizona and Ole Miss. Ole Miss’ scoring threat, Marshall Henderson is the 2013 All-Hick Punk Team. The roster is one deep, and he’s it. Kid plays Jerry Springer trailer-park-trash-guest angry and will shoot Ole Miss in the foot come crunch time.

The possible match up between a great Steve Alford coached New Mexico and Ohio State will be a well-disciplined defensive blood-bath game. Ohio State studs DeShawn Thomas and Aaron Craft have been flat relative to their season’s last year, but Craft especially has picked it up especially on the defensive end. 

Wichita State/Pitt will be a great 8/9 game as both teams have great pieces but an incomplete puzzle.

Big ups to Kansas State’s Bruce Weber for his first year coaching job. Illinois was ridiculous in letting him go.

SOUTH REGION
Oh man, this region has so many upsets in any round that can happen. Look closely at Akron and Tubbysota (AKA Minnesota) to possibly make Sweet 16 runs based on their draws.

The Insanity Report Staff always loves KU but their stud, Ben McLemore remains inconsistent and Bill Self hasn’t unleashed Elijah Johnson’s shooting guard prowess since his Iowa State 30-pt performance.
UNC oddly enough could be ripe for upsetting KU is a great traditional powerhouse 2nd round match up. UNC’s Roy Williams has a lot of work to do long term, with the direction of his recruiting and lack of defense going on for the past 6-7 seasons, but the short term changes he made with a higher 3-pt shooting, smaller line up could strike lightning. It’s all up to Bill Self to unleash Elijah though.

Michigan has the most talented player in the nation in Trey Burke, but there’s a hunch on the Wolverines for not being a big game-james team. Just a hunch from the games I saw this year. They have great guards but really young bigs. They may have peaked early in January as perhaps Florida did. The Gators’ Joey Gabrick-dirty D has fizzled and their offense seems to be inconsistent, which is evident in losing in the SEC Final to Trailer Park Henderson. Tubbysota’s size, especially in Trevor Mbakwe could over take the Gators.

This is Georgetown’s region for the taking in my eyes. Otto Porter will become a household name this month, ala Derrick Williams from Arizona 2 years ago. Plus, their passing and somewhat consistent defense has a good draw to the Final Four as the many anticipated upsets should bode well for JTIII’s Ahoy-Hoyas!

EAST REGION
This region is stacked with great teams which doesn’t bode well for the upset bug we all crave. Indiana has fizzled as of late with an early exit in the Big Ten tourney and some late regular season losses, but Outhet Player of the Year Runner-up, Victor Oladipo will pick his super-quick game up and unleash the Hoosiers toward a Final 4 birth. Indiana Head Coach, Tom Crean has had a week to game plan and motifizate his team towards the resurgence Hoosier-nation has been waiting for since the early 90’s.

There are some compelling match ups in the bottom draw with Marquette and The U primed for an epic Sweet 16 match up. Miami has had a great ACC run this year despite the smoke-screen of a weak ACC, but they’re for real! Just ask Uncle Luke! Marquette just surprises everybody every year and their work ethic will rise to the top. Midnight will strike in the Regional Final v Indiana though.

Colorado is the only Madness quality team from the Pac-12 in the tourney. They should overtake an inconsistent Illinois team led by All-Spaz Coach John Groce.

Butler/Bucknell is a great match up as Bucknell is a perennial Patriot League representative in the Madness as Butler has their Madness mojo as well, despite coming into the tourney flat.

The ‘Cuse/UNLV second round match up will a blood bath of epic proportions. Sryracuse has a talented squad this year, playing Jim Boeheim’s typical 2-3 zone. I think they have the pieces that would be more dangerous in a Bill Raftery man-to-man. UNLV freshman Anthony Bennett is humongous!!!! He could bust out for the Madness!
That’s it! As my previous 5-6 performance in the Insanity Pool has shown, my takes as hopfully entertaining are as reliable as Daniel English showing up for a treatment. So how do you make your picks? Trust your hunches. Make ‘em with no inclination of logic whatsoever! As Willis Adams would say, just Poop Pamp the shit outta it!

Enjoy the Madness, less than 48 hours!

Get yo Picks in by Thursday at 9:00 AM.

Yours in Madness,

First Four Tonight: The Delly Factor!

Alright Party People!!!

I hope youre all ready!!!! There's a great First Four game on tonight with St Mary's v. Middle Tennessee

Middle Tenn State gotta big mid major vote of confidence by being named as an at-large bid over other major conference middle goers like Kentucky and Tennessee. (so is Tennessee Volnteers referred to as Tennessee Tenneseee or Central Tennesee? I'm confused.....) Middle Tennesse had a 17 game win streak in a weak Sun Belt Conference but it was enough to get the nod despite a lot of close games in this weak conference.

Wins are wins but St Marys has had tight wins as well in a tougher West Coast Conference vs. BYU and have great experience vs the true #1 team in the nation, Zags.

Middle Tenn can go deep in the bench and are so chalk full of seniors that they qualify for the Moons Over Mihammy discount at Dennys.

St Marys has size in the blocks to match up with Middle Tenn and have an advantage defensively and from Cass Knievel country hitting the treys. Gotta give the coaching edge to St. Marys too. St. Mary's has seniors as well and their experience extends past the Dennys discount towards uptown all the way to the IHOP on Broadway!!!!! (oh wait, Dennys is on Broadway too......:-S ). St. Mary's has one factor that would make the franchise owner change Denny's into Delly's! And that mofo's is the Delly Factor!!!!

St Marys senior point guard Matthew Dellavadova is one of the funnest players to watch play hoops since the slashing Amy Jonkers!

The Delly Factor is the determining factor because he shows Kobe like determination and can carry St Marys on his shoulders. He'll slash to the rim, hit treys and hustle on defense like a '70's David Cowen!

The Insanity Staff is all over St Marys even with their 3-pt spread tonight, but if you can catch the game you will thoroughly be entertained by Matthew Dellavadova's hustle, determination and daunting mouthguard flow!

I feel the Delly Factor can overcome Middle Tennesse's 13 junior/senior experience squad and make a run v an over-rated Memphis, but one game atta time as dey say!

Stay tuned for a further breakdown of the tourney.

These games don't count for your bracket deadlines, so you know. The deadline for your picks is Thursday by first game tip-off approx. 9:00 AM PST

Get your research on, and start making those sick excuses for Thursday and Friday. I told work I'll be indisposed this week due to my ravenous bite! The Insanity will bite me and the only antidote is 12 c.c's (AKA hours) of Madness!

Enjoy Delly tonight!

Yours in Madness,
Commish A-Dish!

Here's Delly at work! Check out his celebration after the hoop! He's jacked full of a Delly's Moon's Over Mi-hammy for sure!

Insanity Report #1: The Madness beckons.........

Alright party people, welcome to another year of crazy Madness as we haven't had to wait until March this season. The Madness has been in full force since late December with the curse of the #1! It seemed that no team wanted the #1 ranking, since they’d lose the next game after receiving the #1 ranking on the Monday of that week. There's no clear cut favorite but rather teams with the ingredients for a deep a run, but this years teams are in heavy "Any Given Sunday" mode as on any day even a team like TCU can smoke a powerhouse like KU. (Breaks my heart saying that, but it was true)

The conferences are top heavy with an amazing Big Ten and above average Big East and surprising ACC. However, the Pac-12 is an absolute joke. The play in that conference is so low that Bobby Knight would even strangle Lew Alcindor. The SEC only has Florida; don’t be fooled by Mizzou (too small) and the Big 12 is so up and down where even KU had a 3 games losing streak.

Here’s a quicky post to wet your whistles out there in Bracketville. Enjoy this week’s big conference tournies and get those straight jackets to the dry cleaner cuz the Madness looks like the announcing ghost of Gus Johnson would go into solitary confinement!

Watching some college hoops right as this report is getting made, we all on The Insanity Staff in Conference Room B on the 33rd Floor of the Insanity Tower miss Gus Johnson like no other but at least we have Mike Gminski color commentating or is that Will Farrells Harey Carey character?? Zags win Zag’s win!!!

Mike "Harey Carey" Gminski
Here’s the All-Adolph Top Ten team ranking, and as always eff the current rankings. These are the top ten teams that have an actual chance to cut down the nets in Phat-lanta.

GONZAGA BULLDOGS
They have their deepest teams in years led by the greatest superstar in their “Cinderella” history in Kelowna-born and Outhet Player of the Year favorite Kelly Olynyk. Kelly is the most versatile 7-footer since Gheorghe Muresan’s performance in “My Giant”. The type of season he’s having is getting him to a lot of all-star teams, such a unanimous 1st Team All-Adolph team selection and the All-Ugly-As-Sin Team!

The Bulldogs have one of the most versatile line-ups in the nation with Kelly’s strengths, and their All-Clutch point guard, Kevin Pangos. He can hit treys all the way from his hometown in Newmarket! Right up the 400 dare!

Elias Harris is a shadow of his freshman self, but his veteran experience at forward is a perfect compliment to Olynyk and Pangos who will be taking the big shots. Kelly and Kevin say "you're welcome Elias!"

The Bulldogs have depth at guard and forward, and have proven that they can win on the road and in their hellacious non-conference sked. There’s way more takes for Zag’s but the Insanity Report Staff is just giving y’all a taste. First one’s free, then the next one will cost you yo straight jacket plaaayaaa!!!

INDIANA HOOSIERS
The Hoooze have just as a versatile and deep line-up as Gonzaga. They have two quality points guards in Jordan Hulls who is McCarrell-accurate from three, and freshman Yogi Farrell whose game is years above his freshman experience. He reminds the Insanity Report Staff of a McCarrell kid dominating the Salem girls hoops scene.

Phenom shooting guard, Victor Oladipo is fighting Kelly Olynyk for Outhet Player of the Year this year as he is as lightening quick as Dave Adolph eating a plate of salt-n-pepper wings.

Super Sophomore Center, Tyler Zeller is another versatile 7-footer who is lightning quick for a big running the lanes. But he can get susceptible to being out-physical-ed like his getting owned by Minny’s Trevor Mbakwe 2 weeks back. Check it out! Expoooowh-zed Zeller!

The Hoosiers need their wing/forward Christian Watford to score above 15 points, as when he does, the Hoosiers are a lock to win. Indiana’s has some bad losses as of late, but they have the ingredients for a deep run in the Madness.

FLORIDA GATORS
They live but don’t die by the trey. They can shoot it quite well especially with Kenny Boynton always on the flight deck ready to take off every game! They have quality bigs in Patric Young and Mike Rosario. But the Gator defense is capable of giving up scores as low as the mid-30-40’s! They’re defense is more suffocating than a Joey Gabrick fart!!!! So look out for the Gators, they are under-rated coming out of a weak SEC! 

GEORGETOWN HOYAS
They’ve come back down to earth after a lengthy win streak in Big East play a couple weeks back. Otto Porter is an amazing athletic passing forward making the Hoyas the most exciting Princeton-style offense in history, which is not saying much with this style of offense. With that being said it is pretty to watch all 5 players pass the ball so great.  All 5 starters distribute the ball like a UBC parking stiff distributing parking tickets. They’ve had games where all 5 starters have 3-4 assists each. Great teamwork by the Georgetown A-hoy-hoyas



KANSAS JAYHAWKS
It pains me to say this, but KU has many ingredients to be a dominant team, but they're mixed as well as chasing a shot of JD with milk! Ben McLemore has the capability to go off, but in between these all-star efforts, he is invisible. It's completely unfathomable that's he's slated as the #1 pick in this year's NBA draft!!!!! Center, Jeff Withey is Stay-Puft Marshmallow Soft. And by marshmallow, he is march-maahhl-owwwee soft. He is no gate-keeper nor key-master! We like Kevin Young’s all hustle spaz energy, but with it comes well-intentioned yet spazzy mistakes. The x-factors of all x-factors is if coach, Bill Self takes the point guard handcuffs off super senior, Elijah Johnson! He’s a true shooting guard that could go Kevin McCarrell on your bracket! Coach Self, let Johnson go off! Rock Chawk the shit outta that Jayhawk, will you Self!!! 

MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS
You know how a lot of teams name their court after long-tenured coaches? That is so below MSU Head Coach, Tom “to the” Izzo! MSU should be referred to as IU: Izzo U! Done no worry about their quality players and typical Izzo rough and tumble rebounding, just expect a well-coached Izzo run deep into the Madness sunset once again. Oh shiz-nat, I just jinxed them! That’s just it about the Izzo, the m-effer’s unjinxable! Go Spartans!

WISCONSIN BADGERS
They have been truly insulted with their ranking being in the low 20’s all year despite their hellacious Big Team sked. They have had as many quality wins especially in mid January when they went through the gauntlet. They have the rare 4 out, 1 in set where most players are big and tall but can shoot the trey. They always bring the Bo Ryan work ethic but still rely on the trey too much.

DUKE POO DEVILS
Gotta admit, they showed up UNC big time last night. The return of Ryan Kelly obviously made a difference. His return gives some added presence in the paint with senior, Mason Plumlee. But the Poo Devils have little foot speed at all positions to guard the penetration or to take it to the tin themselves. They rely on planting the puppies and living and dying by the three. Plus, their dominance over UNC was against a team that is truly disappointing this year. Disappointing enough that I don't even want to get started on the Tar Heels. Just shameful! But with Ryan Kelly back, they have more muscle in the paint that Ryan "Turpentine" Paulsen would be concerned about!

MICHIGAN WOLVERINES
They have the same talent as a Gonzaga or Indiana, but young forwards and All-Adolph 1st Teamer Trey Burke. Burke has amazing talent, maybe tops in the nation, but there is a concern on how he’ll perform in a Big Ten Tourney game or a Madness game. It's just a Commish hunch. Tim Hardaway Jr. also mails it in occasionally. Coach John Beilein always preaches mean defense though.

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS
They limped into the Big East tourney last year to win 4 games in 4 days in winning the Big East Tourney to make a semi-Cinderella run to the Final 4 last year. Last year’s Insanity Crew personally saw Louisville win two games in Portland in the 1st/2nd round and were not impressed thinking they’d tank. This year’s Louisville Cardinals has most of the same players from last year, which on paper, they are always a threat but their guards Siva and Smith can pull a KU Ben McLemore act. The Cardinals can either remind the Insanity Staff of a quality performance ala the VCU Pep Band from Portland, or.....

(for those UBC Football players, the saxophonist is not Ford Marcotte):
(Once again, these guys were a huge part of the Madness experience last year!)

.....or they could pull off a Homer Simpson Saxa-ma-phone performance. We'll see in a couple weeks where the cards land for Louisville.......

OTHER TEAMS TO LOOK FOR:

MARQUETTE EAGLES GOLDEN EAGLES
They will outwork you like they have 12 Greg Sales on the roster! Watch out for them, they are a well coached team. They bring the hustle and thunda incorporating Head Coach, Buzz Williams Thundamentals!

MIAMI HURRICANES
Yes, they have talented players especially in Barry Larkins son. What’s his name? Who cares, he’ll be “Barry Larkin’s son” until he delivers in the Madness, so here’s your chance suuuuu-on! Plus The U is overrated because of their sweeps of a brutal UNC and slow-footed Poo Devil squad.

Again, this one is relatively short, the Insanity Staff is hard at work on their own Bracketology. Stay tuned for updates on the 15th Annual March Madness Insanity Pool! Stay crazy San Diego!

Yours in Madness
