Boom! That sound you heard was everyone’s brackets blowing up, thanks to big losses by overall No. 1 Gonzaga and fellow No. 1 seed Arizona. I usually root for the underdog, so I must say how exciting the Sweet Sixteen games have been. And who would have picked those might Saint Peter’s Peacocks to beat Purdue?! They don’t call it March Madness for nothing! In our pool, everyone lost their championship teams except for me. So as long as Duke wins, then I will retain the trophy!
