Yo, how's your bracket?

That is the question on everyone's mind right now, as the wild first and second rounds concluded with some surprises, and hell of a lot of close games. We would like to thank Jon Leonard again for coming on the radio show this week to discuss the bracket, and for all those Jon Leonard fans out there, he will be back very soon.

With 48 games out of the way, the tourney is looking to be another great one, as we still have all four #1 seeds remaining, and 2 out of 4 #2 seeds advancing to the Sweet 16. Here are a few thoughts of mine from the tournament so far.

Looking Good
- First and foremost UNC looks better than advertised. Unquestionably they were the best team of the first weekend, and are deserving of the #1 overall seed. But now the hard part comes for them, with Washington St and the Louisville/Tennessee winner.
- Staying in the East bracket, Louisville is looking worthy of the hype of the final four sleeper tag, but now they face the Volunteers in what should be a great game.
- Stephen Curry is the real deal, and has scored 70 points in two games, and has had huge 2nd halves in both their upset wins. It looks like Davidson is this years George Mason.
- The Lopez twins at Stanford are each contributing what they do best, as Robin has 8 blocks in two games, and Brook Lopez scored 30, including the game winner against Marquette.
- West Virginia beat 2 tough teams in Arizona and Duke, and did so without playing 2 great halves in either game. It does show that a good shooting team can get hot and win.

Won 2 games, but...
- UCLA and Memphis moved on after sweating out wins against Texas A&M and Mississippi State respectively. Memphis's foul shooting obviously was a weakness as it allowed MSU to stay in the game late, and a good team will definitely take advantage of them. UCLA looked good down the stretch against A&M, but they struggled to score points, and that good be a weakness.
- Tennessee and Texas both had trouble late in their 2nd round match ups as they allowed their opponents to come back and almost win.
- Stanford's coach Trent Johnson got thrown out of the game early against Marquette, and he avoided a full year of getting crap for it by being bailed out by the Lopez twins. Note to coaches, do not get thrown out in the tournament, coaches are important in the tourney.
- All the teams who are fouling when winning at the end of the game need a lesson in what to do when winning. A lot of close games in the first 2 rounds won despite their pitiful play at the end of games. Now the teams are better, and won't fade at the end.

Wednesday at 7-8pm look out for a new The B Zone where we will give some MLB predictions, and follow up with our good calls and bad calls in the tourney from last weeks show, because everyone should be accountable for their awful tourney comments.
