It might be after 10 pm at night – but there is no sleep for the Lunatic! Hopefully, you will be more rested so that you can truly enjoy the amazing basketball that will be coming over the next 3 weeks.
And hopefully, you have entered your picks!!!! We already have 237 entries, and we always get a lot of last-minute entries on Thursday morning – we should be ready to have tons of people Stomping the Lunatic!!!!
While the Lunatic still has to do his handicapping page (which since it is this late and you start talking about spreads, it will be hard to say what he does), the Lunatic has at least finished his official picks – which he will now reveal!!!!!
In his Sane picks, the Lunatic goes with a tremendous amount of chalk (even more than he is used to). But when it comes to the Regional Finals, he has unstoppable Duke beating Michigan State, Michigan taking down a dangerous Florida State fresh off their upset of Gonzaga, Virginia redeems themselves from last year by beating my beloved Boilermakers, and North Carolina takes down fellow blue-blood Kentucky. In the Final Four, Duke continues their dominance against Michigan, and North Carolina has a minor upset of Virginia – setting up round 4 of the greatest rivalry in college basketball. And in the final, Duke will fulfill their destiny by beating North Carolina in a high-paced exciting game.
IMPORTANT EDITOR’S NOTE!!!!! – The Lunatic in trying to type his picks quickly made an obvious mistake in his insane picks. Obviously, Florida State can not beat Duke in the West Regional and then join Duke in the Final Four. The Blue Devils are an amazing team – but they can not play in both the East and West Regionals. The Lunatic meant to say that Florida State would beat Michigan. Duke will still beat Michigan State. And then Duke will beat Florida State in the Final Four – setting up their sad loss to the Tar Heels. Just did not want to send out another email and flood people’s email boxes. That being said, it seems to be how this year is going to go – I am totally asleep at the wheel.
In his Insane picks, the Lunatic ends up with the same Elite 8 – but this time, Florida State upsets Michigan and Purdue upsets Virginia to join Duke and UNC in the Final Four. The Championship Game is the same – because who could not want to see the Blue Devils and Tar Heels play again. But this time, in the Lunatic’s crazy universe, it will be UNC beating the team that isn’t supposed to lose when Zion Williamson is healthy – the Tar Heels win the championship and cut down the nets. And since these are his crazy picks, the Upsets start going crazy, including watching Belmont, Oregon and Ohio State making the Sweet 16.
And yes, the Lunatic’s Insane picks are probably why you should not make your picks after 10 pm at night………AND APPARENTLY ARE ALSO WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SEND MASS E-MAILS AFTER 10 PM AT NIGHT………
Who knows – I am sure no one thought Loyola – Chicago would be in the Final Four last March. When March is here, anything can happen.
Don’t forget to get your picks in – and good luck to everyone in Stomping the Lunatic!!!!!!
