Okay I never qualified for 2K's Final Four competition on XBL. But after some of the exploits I encountered during playing on-line, I really just got disgusted with the whole process. In related news, my bracket is busted all to hell and gone. Really sucks when you expect a defensive powerhouse to make it to the sweet sixteen and they get knocked out in the second round. I imagine a lot of people expected G-Town and Duke to make it to the Sweet 16, but I had both teams advancing far enough that when they lost, my chances for winning my office pool went down with them.
UCLA escapes again! This is the team I have winning the whole tourney and they just keep making the tourney interesting. Before March Madness began I thought that they were the most naturally talented team in the field. But now it seems they have been exposed as a careless team when trying control the ball and execute offensively that is only offset by excellent team defense. My guess is that they'll struggle offensively against Xavier as well, so we'll just have to see how they can handle a stronger and more experienced opponent. They've made what should be an easy path to the Final Four look extremely difficult.
