ChicagoSportsBlogs : Non Compete

We have a new RSS feed for those of you who want to just read about my tourney picks. It will basically be daily coverage of the games. I'll write about why I picked the way I did, and perhaps a little crying over how many I got wrong.

So here are my picks for all to see: (i'll try to finish this before the end of the night)

That's it for Round One -- I'll get the rest in later today. Notice how I think all the Big Ten teams are going to win their first round games -- THIS NEVER HAPPENS. I know I will regret that. I also was waivering on UTEP. I think they can take the Utes, but I didnt have the courage to pick it...ah well. Good luck to all!
