Baracketology update redux

Of course Barack Obama is hardly the only person to get three of the Final Four wrong, and his pick to win it all, North Carolina, is still in the chase and won over Oklahoma (whom the sportscasters were lauding a few days ago). I was pleased to see Villanova win, as you might expect, but I was also pleased to see Michigan State take down Louisville (the highest overall seed, they say) almost without breaking a sweat.

Go 'Nova!

Of course I'm glad that Villanova won today over Pittsburgh and made it into the Final Four, given that Villanova beat (well, pretty much destroyed) UCLA last week. So it's nice to see tham beat otheres, especially a No. 1 seed like Pitt.

In fact, the game was an exemplar, an illustration of why it's sometimes fun to watch sports even when you don't have a rooting interest. Both teams played hard and well, and it came down, literally to the last half-second. Good fun to watch. Ready for baseball.
