Ellen the Prophet
After Georgetown’s big comeback to tie UNC, Ellen said to me, “At least in OT, the Hoyas have time to build a ten-point lead, so it won’t be as nerve-wracking.” I scoffed at her possibly jinx-inducing analysis. But this tournament has exposed how little I know. Georgetown proceeded to score the first fourteen points in the extra period on their way to a 94-86 win. She’s cute when she gloats.
In this pool, my champion is Georgetown, and I also have Florida and Ohio State. But after several early gaffes, I’ve got no shot. If Ohio State wins, Ellen will come in second (out of 74).
And I’m not ready to talk about my work bracket.
