Well, if your bracket's not ruined, you're either him or him. Or you didn't enter your bracket in ESPN's bracket challenge. In the group I was in, everyone got every team in the Final Four wrong.
So, what's caused all this craziness? VCU won again. Yep. Nobody would have ever believed it. They are just the third double digit seed ever to make it to the Final Four! What's even more surprising is that they dominated everybody they played, except for Florida State. They beat a #6 seed, a #3 seed, a #10 seed, and a #1 seed.
Guess what? Drum roll please.... Butler's back!!! Nobody (well, almost nobody) would have thought it. After Gordon Hayward left, I thought Butler would fall back into the ranks of the unknown. But here they are, ready to make a case for the national championship.
The other side of the bracket isn't quite as surprising, although not many people expected UConn and Kentucky to make it.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the tournament is that there are no #1 or #2 seeds in the Final Four. That's right, none! This is the first time EVER! There have also only been three Final Fours in which there are no #1s.
For lack of a better word, this is March Insaneness, (well, that's not even a word) times two. If anyone has a better word, let me know. And don't say madness.
