Can you believe the NCAA had the gall to put DePaul
into their tournament?  Being a Chicago fan, I`ve watched
many of the Blue Demons games this year, and I must say
they don`t deserve to be chosen.  And once again
Marquette gets the snub!  On the "Let`s show you the
picks" show, Garry Bender stated that DePaul made it
by virtue of their victory over Marquette.  Good reason!
I think the only reason they made it was on name - period.
But as they have in the last few years, I expect them to
lose in the first round.

In other ramblings, I was surprised to see N. Carolina get
sent out to the West regional - and seeded 3rd.  That`s
a mighty big drop, considering they were #1 for almost 3 months.
They have really slumped in the last 2 weeks, though.

- Watch for Navy to put up a really good fight.
- My super outside, longshot, darkhorse is Cleveland State.
- The chanmpionship will have one ACC team vs. a Big Ten team.

Ah, March madness and spring training - who could ask for anything more.
