Okay, March Madness is finally here. And least year, here at Hip Daddy HQ, let’s just say Ohio St. did us good…#collegefund? We loved those Buckeyes. But now, another year, and likely another year of upsets and buzzer beaters, and some person in HR who has never watched a college bball game in their life will likely win that company pool. Welcome to March Madness.
Hip Daddy loves a bracket, but we also like order and focus. Our version of Bracketology is quite simple- 6 teams to talk about it, that’s about it. Not 64. Not 20. Not 10. So in the words of the Black Eyed Peas, Let’s get it started…
Davidson
Do you even know where this school is? Well, you are not alone, but it is in the state where college basketball thrives -North Carolina. So it makes sense they have a solid program (Steph Curry alma mater as well) and will likely make some moves in the Tournament. Sweet Sixteen likely, maybe even further if they keep playing like a team with a purpose.
San Diego St.
Something about these guys…seems like every year they have some sort of Tournament buzz. Alas, they play defense like nobody’s business and we know defense wins ball games. And yes, Hip Daddy wise, we love anything from San Diego given it is home to The San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld and off course LegoLand (Carlsbad.) So we are cheering for the Aztecs!
Michigan St.
Similar to Wisconsin’s run last year, you just know another Big Ten team will make a surprising push late into the Tournament. Although we would like that team to be the Golden Gophers (if they make it), you have to always watch out for Coach Tom Izzo come March Madness. Given all the OT games they have played this season, they’ve got stamina and that is a huge ingredient to March success!
Kansas
Something about this team this year, just a feeling. That’s it. Keep your eye on the Jayhawks.
Kentucky
Nope, they aren’t winning it all. OMG??!! Are you crazy Hip Daddy? They are undefeated and unbeatable! Well, you heard it here, they are losing at some point. It’s called Madness for a reason folks.
UNC
Winner. Winner. We like them. Strong team in a strong ACC. Yes, Duke and UVA are getting more talk, but we like our Carolina Blue here at the Hip Daddy HQ, and therefore, Tarheels will be cutting down the nets come early April!
So there you have it. The first ever Hip Daddy Bracketology, straight and simple. Sunday Selection approaches, enjoy the weekend.
