March Madness

Tomorrow marks the start of this year's NCAA tournament. Since Nate chose to blog about his first round picks, I decided to follow suit. With my upsets, I won't put how sure I am of them like he did. I decided to stay pretty conservative this year and stick with higher seeds going deep in the tourney, but who knows what will unfold?
