Plenty of upsets in the first round, mainly Georgetown and Wisconsin for me. But my picks to win it were Louisville or Gonzaga. Not confident in Gonzaga anymore after they had to hold on to win against Southern. But Louisville looked fierce. If I could rearrange the #1 seeds after this last round I'd have them be Louisville, Indiana, Miami, and Ohio State. 

In other news, Baseball season is just a few days away, looking forward to that. My early front-runners would be the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Baltimore Orioles. 

The Miami Heat have now won 25 straight after beating Detroit last night. 8 more consecutive and they will tie the mark for most consecutive wins. But look out for Denver who has won 14 straight. Could be a darkhorse in the playoffs.
