Watching those games is also great prep for picking winners. There are so many different criteria proposed by experts that they often contradict each other in the end. So go with your gut. Pick teams you root for to win, within reason, while predicting teams you don’t like to lose earlier than expected. (Duke has lost to a lower seed every year since 2004 hahaha).

"The ideas of one man are no longer the foundation for creating a state...
...inspiration, whose airy arrangement of percussion and melody bring a vitality and warmness to the album that bridges that gap.“Microcastle” is a masterpiece in a new sense of the word. It addresses the impossible demands of a niche and an industry whose goals contradict one another—commercial experimentation, profitable rebellion—but embraces them so wholly that the contradiction becomes a part of the work. “Microcastle” is the testament of a band that has accepted its function and its place, and, in so doing, transcends both...
