The top 7 teams are all separating themselves. Maryland joins the group of Baylor, Kansas, Gonzaga, San Diego State, Duke and Dayton. The thing about the Terrapins though is they play tougher competition than the rest of them. But the Bears and Jayhawks have a big time showdown Saturday.
I met with the good folks at Deceptive Speed to discuss Bracketology dates up until Selection Sunday. This is what we came up with:
February 22, 26, 29
March 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 (2)
I do have to point out there was quite the shifting on the bubble. Another Big Ten team went below the cut line so now just nine are in. Four teams total from the previous bracket dropped out. It’s a crazy year, folks. Enjoy the rest of your week, I certainly will.
Check all of us out on the Bracket Matrix. It’s more than just a bowling league full of fat people where the winner gets a years supply of insulin.
Does the winner of your obese bowling league win a years supply of insulin?

Even though I would fully enjoy that.
Catching up on twitter since I’ve been working all day.
But I’m a type 1 diabetic. The kind you don’t get from being fat. And I’m on the bracket matrix so I’d be down for a years supply of insulin.
