Vitale has been unwatchable for at least 15 years.
And un-listenable for 20.

Even so, he's a thousand times better than [expletive] Doris Burke.

Dick Vitale is like Harry Carey, except that Dick tries to be like that. Harry was a natural. He also has his head so far up Duke's rear end, I can't listen.

Final Four of Nova, Kansas, Arizona and UCLA. South region could be interesting. I picked Wichita State to upset Kentucky and have UCLA and Butler in the Elite 8.

Wichita State got a really rough seed. A 10 seed is ridiculously low, and then throw in that they've got to face pretty easily the best #2 seed in the tournament in the 2nd round. I really wanted to pick them to go farther, but sheeeeit. Tough to pick against Kentucky. Middle Tennessee State has a pretty good path to get to the sweet 16. SMU/Baylor/Duke...it's tough to pick between those 3 to get the elite 8.

I wouldn't say Kentucky is easily the best #2. I'm not even sure they're 2nd best.

Kentucky is perennially overrated and will see an early exit this year. I could see a scenario where WICH St beats them, but they definitely arent making it past UCLA.
Full disclosure: I say these things after having done very little research.
Also, MTSU is getting some love as a sneaky pick. I have them losing to UNC.
