Wow, 7 people in the group did worse than me! Nationally, over 37% of the entries did worse than me.

I went 21-11. 9-7 on Thursday, 12-4 yesterday.

Of the 11 losses, I picked an OT game (Texas) and a 2OT game (Florida) wrong. UNLV lost by 3, Vandy lost by 1 on a last second shot, Notre Dame lost by 1, and Marquette lost by 2.

I think I'm losing though mainly due to the stinkers I picked. Georgetown got hammered (that couldn't really be seen), Minnesota (what was I thinking?) got stomped by a clearly better team, Missouri had little trouble with Clemson, and I'm still not sure why I picked Louisville over Cal.

But hey, I still have all of my Sweet 16 teams left, so the whole thing starts fresh today. I do have Tennessee and Wisconsin winning another game, though.

After the first round, the number one person only lost the Fla/BYU game. Wow. He'd give Carnac the Magnificent a run for his money......

Picked Villanova to go to the Final Eight. My Big East picks are looking more, and more, like a Big Mistake. Well, at least my Butler pick got me into the top 1.5 million nationally.

I'm number 1.5 million. I'm number 1.5 million. I'm number 1.5 million.

I say again, you, me and 50% of the country.

I am in another pool that does not have Kansas winning..... I rarely go with the #1 seed, but did in our pool.

I'm nuked in the whole Villanova bracket. And I had Kansas winning it all. My PPR may be in the triple digits by now.


Yep, just checked...I'm in 3rd place but I have the lowest PPR in the 31.

I had them and Georgetown in the Elite Eight.
Now, if BYU beats Kansas State and Duke loses tomorrow, I'll be heading for 2012.
