The Tourney is Boring
UNC 68, WSU 47
Louisville 79, Tennessee 60
UNC 83, Louisville 73
Kansas 72, Villanova 57
Davidson 73, Wisconsin 56
Kansas 59, Davidson 57
Memphis 92, Michigan State 74
Texas 82, Stanford 62
Memphis 79, Texas 65
UCLA 88, Western Kentucky 78
Xavier 79, West Virginia 75 (OT)
UCLA 76, Xavier 57
The point of listing all these scores is to show that of the twelve (12) Sweet Sixteen (16) and Elite Eight (8) games that have been played there have been two (2) that were n close. Even the major upset (Davidson over Wisconsin) was sort of a blow out.
When the tourney started, I was explaining to an Australian friend of mine that it is basically the best sporting event that the USA has (with the possible exception of the baseball playoffs) because everyone has a bracket and thus some investment in the thing and because all kinds of crazy things happen. That just hasn’t happened. The Final Four (4) had better be cataclysmic or else. . .
