ESPN Men's Tournament Challenge

[Nevadaref]

Is now a good time to note that I'm in 1st place in our group and 779th overall with 560 points.

I somehow managed to hit 14 of the Sweet 16 and ALL of my Elite Eight teams are still alive. Thus I have the maximum amount of possible points remaining.

My best pick this tournament is a tie between selecting UNLV to beat Wisconsin in the 2nd round and using my head instead of my heart in picking Nevada to lose to Memphis. Of course taking Winthrop and VCU in the first round wasn't bad either.

My wife learned that you can't win it the first weekend, but you sure can lose.

She had Wisconsin and Texas in the Final Four.

Just goes to show that knowing basketball counts for something once in a while. I knew Wisconsin wouldn't get that far after the Butch injury, but I did think they'd get by UNLV/Georgia Tech.

I've lost 2 Elite 8 teams, so I know I have no hope of winning, but if things fall into place I could still finish pretty high in the group.

And screw the brackets, I'm just rooting for Tennessee (my first graduate school) now.

Ya, Nevada, you sure are kicking some tail. I'll give myself a pat on the back too for picking UNLV over Wisconsin. I'm just hoping that luck parlays into getting the Ducks into the Final Four. You gotta pick an upset into the Final Four most years to have a shot at winning it all. My only worry is that this year has been very unconventional from the upset standpoint. No double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16. I hope that trend ends this weekend.

Oh, and me picking Maryland and Texas to the Elite 8 hasn't helped, either. Go USC/Butler!!

I also picked Butler to beat Maryland. I was on fire last weekend, but have to criticize myself for not picking Vandy, who I knew was better than WSU. I just got swayed by living in the PAC-10 area. I'm kicking myself for it today.

Um, I picked Butler, too. I'm just sayin'.

"Wow....Tyler Hansbrough!"

Do you think they asked for his autograph?

[WhistlesAndStripes]

They were probably thinking, "Man, I wonder if he's gonna wear that ugly mask today, and if not, can we make him bleed as bad as Henderson did."
