I am thrilled to announce my 234th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk some Bracketogoly for all of Friday’s 16 games.

But first, let’s talk about the REAL MARCH MADNESS!!! I am coaching my daughter’s 6th grade girl’s basketball team and our tournament started on Saturday. After an absolute beat down of one of the lower seeds, we were in the Final Four last night. We were facing a team that took the time out of their Saturday morning to drive across town and scout us and take notes about our offense and defense.

One of my friends is the coach of the other team and when I saw him and his assistant coaches walk into the gym, I said, “Ryan, what the f#ck are you doing here? You guys don’t play today?” He grinned and said they wanted to check our game out…really lol? I told our girls to be flattered that the other team was so worried about playing us on Monday night that they wanted to see what plays we were running.

Who knew 6th grade girl’s basketball could be so intense 😊!

The Royal Lions girls played great last night and we won the game and are headed to the Championship Game tonight against the #1 seed, who is undefeated and has beaten every team by 20+ this season. It will be one hell of a challenge, but a lot of fun!

Alright, as far as the “other” tournament that is about to start, I will go through all 16 games for Friday and give you my picks against the spread. I picked a ton of upsets for Thursday’s round but Friday looks much more chalky…

I would love to tell you all about it in my new Scorum Sports Cast. To check out my 234th show just click the play button below. I look forward to hearing your input and comments. Cheers!
