I don't mean to be a spoiler for anyone's picks, but I am graciously going to provide some insight on this year's tournament. Free, no charge. Also, I'm not suggesting that you send me the Papa John's gift card when you win due to my insight or anthing, but an address can be provided for the cash equivalent if you really feel it's necessary.

1) Wait for KMD to make her picks before you make yours. She will do a better job than you, so stop fighting it and just go with whatever upsets she calls. Besides, with Bill Self as their coach, is it really going to be that big of an upset when Kansas loses to Kent State?

2) According to the national media, it's unclear whether schools west of Virginia actually play basketball, so they must not be any good. Don't pick any of them to win. When in doubt (or out of necessity), go with the team farther to the east.

3) Find the player with the wackiest name, and pick his team to make it to the Elite 8. Being able to say "Cornelio Guibunda" is too big of a draw for CBS. No way that team will be a one-and-done.

4)Teams wearing blue usually win. Orange and yellow, not so much.

5) Coin flipping is an acceptable strategy from the Sweet 16 on. Heads the higher-seeded team wins, tails they lose. In case two teams playing each other have the same seed, see rule #4.

You are most welcome.

Thanks C-Lo. I tend to use the Force in bracket selections.
