I've noticed a trend in my thinking over the last day plus while the NCAA basketball tournament has been going on. That trend is this -- any time that a team struggles but wins and I've got them going deep into the tournament, automatically I think, 'Alright, I like them having a struggle. They're motivated now to fight harder than ever.' But, any time that a team stuggles but wins and I've got them losing in the next round or two, it's definitely, 'HA, totally gonna score on that pick. Look at how much they struggled in the first round!'
Example of thought process #1: Villanova
Example of thought process #2: Kansas, Pittsburgh
This probably isn't anywhere close to being isolated to just my thinking, but I thought it was funny that I succumbed to such double thinking.
Oh, and West Virginia to the Elite 8? Ummm, not so good.
