I'm currently 5-8. Who would have thought that both Butler (#1 seed in Horizon) and Weber State (#1 seed in Big Sky) both would have lost at home? The answer is not me.
Also, as if you didn't need another reason to root for the Alabama State Hornets in the SWAC Tournament, I give you the greatest of all-time: Chief Kickingstallionsims. He is a 7-1 senior center for the Hornets, and this is his last chance to make the big dance. I want to hear his name during the NCAA tournament, perhaps in a first-round upset of North Carolina ("And Chief Kickingstallionsims dunks on Hansbrough again").
