The first day of the real madness if about over. My bracket, well let's just say picking teams based on limited basketball statistical knowledge, color and mascot isn't the winning strategy. According to my bracket on ESPN, I'm ranked 5,470,472. That's ... good ... right.

This year, ESPN had a record number of brackets submitted, with 6.45 million. At least for me, that means I am not last. But it's only the second round. I have plenty of points left to grab up.

Including the second day of round two, when my Jayhawks play at 8:57 p.m. against Detroit. Here are some thoughts form the players before the game.

Along with that, Thomas Robinson was tweeting about his evening.

Can you blame him? He has to just chill and wait until he gets to join the big dance. So, until tomorrow, the dancing quiets down for a while.

So how is your bracket doing? Mine is, as you read above, a little slow on the point getting. Check my bracket out, and yes, KU will always rise above all. Always.
