Every year, my husband's family plays the NCAA men's basketball tournament brackets. They've encouraged me to play along, but I don't know ANYTHING about college basketball, so it's never seemed like fun. This year, I came up with a strategy: Samuel and I are playing together. Samuel is in charge of picking teams, and I am the secretary.Over milk and pretzels this afternoon we made our picks. Except for my sentimental faves of Wisconsin, University of Louisville, and Duke, all the choices were Samuel's. According to the family rules, each round is chosen separately. These are picks for the first round. If Mississippi Valley (#16) beats UCLA (#1), I may have to take Samuel to Vegas.
