It is now time for another edition of “JR was wrong.” This week’s edition is all about the 2011 March Madness bracket I filled out. I only filled out one this year, so if I picked a few games wrong, that was that.

I did indeed pick a few games wrong. As a matter of fact, I picked a lot of games incorrectly. Louisville, Xavier and Gonzaga destroyed my bracket. I predicted that this year’s tournament would witness a great showing by Georgetown as well.

I was wrong. I put in ink that I expected Georgetown to make the championship game. Then the upset masters known as the Virginia Commonwealth Rams came along and blew up my Southwest Region predictions.

I literally trashed my bracket after the Georgetown loss because there was no point holding on to that worthless piece of paper any longer. I also publicly stated in this newspaper that I thought San Diego State would win out.

They seemed like a great team and only had a few losses. They had to get past UConn and Duke to get to the Final Four, but I thought they had it in them. Little did I know that Arizona would beat Duke and that UConn would prove too tough an opponent for the Aztecs.

Butler and VCU really surprised me, but I bet I am not the only one who thought too little of them before the tournament. UConn and Kentucky were two teams that were expected to be good. When they both made the Final Four, I was not amazed.

When Butler and VCU both made the Final Four, I was shocked. The NCAA Tournament seems to always feature a Cinderella team that plays better than expected. This year’s team was definitely VCU. Unfortunately, I thought Memphis would be the team to pull off the Cinderella tournament, until they lost to San Diego State, that is.

I chose Ohio State, San Diego State, Purdue and Pitt as my Final Four. There always seems to be a couple of No. 1 seeds that make it through, just not this year. Kentucky, UConn, VCU and Butler saw fit to defeat the teams I chose, so there went my bracket yet again.

At least I am not the only one who seems to have picked some of these teams. ESPN radio personality Colin Cowherd chose all four No. 1 seeds to make the Final Four. These were safer picks than mine and they still ended up being wrong. President Barack Obama was also wrong this year, as he picked Kansas to win it all.

I guess the moral of this story should be to caution anyone who makes March Madness predictions that anything can happen. The Final Four can see two teams rate No. 8 or lower while having no No. 1 seeds.

This has been yet another installment of “JR was wrong.” Maybe next year I can redeem myself with better March Madness picks, but probably not.
