David Oliver’s madness, revealed

Don’t worry it’s not more idle chatter about fixing all of track and field’s ills.  This week, we caught up with David “The King” Oliver and he addressed the more pressing issue this week: Who will win the NCAA men’s basketball title?

The 2008 Beijing bronze medalist at 110 hurdles is a lover of all things that are sports.  In a move of openness and transparency, Oliver filled out an NCAA bracket and revealed his picks with PreRaceJitters.com.

While Oliver’s picks are solid, they may surprise you. The aggressive hurdler,  did not pick many upsets however he is picking Memphis and North Carolina for the championship game with Memphis emerging as the champion.

On Day 1, Oliver picked all but five of the winning selections but missed the upset of 10th-seeded Maryland beating Cal in the West bracket, however that was a tough call that many debate before the tournament.

On Day 2, he’s going with the high seeds. Oliver stays with the safer picks in the later rounds, with Memphis, North Carolina, Pittsburgh and Louisville all-No. 1 seeds in the Final Four.

How does your bracket stack up against the Olympic bronze medalist?
