What’s going on blogoshphere? Welcome to UNDRAFTED, a brand new sports blog dedicated to all things involved in the world of sports and entertainment, told from the lens of your everyday common fan. The idea was spawned between two post-graduate 20 somethings looking to break into the industry.
The world of sports is a vast one though, and just jumping into our opinion on a sport or team mid stride would seem awkward, and out of context. Hours we spent pondering on what would start the site off, before realizing that one of the most anticipated American sporting events was days away from taking place. Of course, I’m talking about the Men’s NCAA basketball tournament.
Year after year, Spring after Spring, spirited fanatics come together with there co-workers, classmates, friends and family alike in testing their luck and knowledge in the form of bracket pools that bet on the result of tournament games. The NCAA tournament has evolved beyond just a form athletic competition, to now become a main stay in entertainment culture. With such an opportunity nearly smacking us in the face, had at last found the starting point for Undrafted.
So without further adieu, we present to you our take on the 2013 NCAA Tournament! WOOOOOH!!!!! (let’s just pretend some streamers and shit went off).
So this is how we are going to bring this flavor to your ear…eye..whatever. Both myself (CWill), and MPT will present to you our picks for the first round of the tourney. Each of us chose two regions and gave our opinions on each of the match ups, as well as who would advance to the next round. Going forward as we advance through the tournament, we will preview each match, starting from the first round down to the Final Four and Championship game. We will also do our best to provide recap to the must see games, so stay tuned for new posts everyday.
All right, let’s get to it! Starting with the Midwest Region.
