NCAA Basketball tournament

I've been slacking a little but at least now I can say a few things.  FIrst off, UNC was seeded #1 in their region YEAH and the rest of the bracket doesn't look to bad.  Also the good news is that Ty Lawson is playing and they really needed him in the second game.
In the first game UNC had to play the 16th seed of course that's how it works, which was Radford, they stomped them, 101 to 58.  Lawson did not play in this game.
Next they had to play LSU which also went well but they needed Lawson and he came through.  Even though he hurt his toe again during the game he came back .  UNC won with 84 to 70.  Not that you can tell by the final score but the game was pretty close.  
On friday they play Gonzaga.  I can't wait.  I love March madness (even if 4 of my brackets that I picked didn't get stored so I only have on bracket out there).
My paper bracket though did pretty well in the South Region (UNC'c) and the East Region, West Region wasn't horrible but the Midwest Region was blown to hell.  Good thing I didn't have money riding on it this year.
Just so I put it out there let me set out my picks final 8:
Pittsburgh vs Duke
UNC vs Syracuse
Louisville vs Kansas
Connecticut vs Memphis

Final 4:
Louisville vs Memphis
Pittsburgh vs UNC

Finals: 

UNC vs Louisville

And the big winner, UNC of course.
