Well, I'm 12-4, and none of my sweet 16 picks are out. There's still hope.

12-4 and 13-3 seem to be popular results after day 1. Next year I'm going to pick my teams based on their cheerleaders or some such thing. More scientific.

Growing up hating UCLA, I cannot bring myself to pick them very often. Close but no cigar last night, but I think they will be done after tomorrow, so that should help with the rest of that bracket.

Please to be explaining your criteria? Inquiring minds want to know.

PS - I was 12-4, like many others! Go Terps!!

PSS - Join us on the chat line, we had fun discussing calls last nit. It was also somewhat fun watching TJ sweat out the Nova vs AU game! Sorry TJ!

Me too. And she's perfect in the first 3 today and I picked Tennessee. So 17-2 and 14-5.

Wake was my only one to lose.

But my wife picked Siena (I was impressed with that pick even before the game went into OT and then 2OT) and I didn't and that made the difference in the first round. 24 to 23, I lost. I imagine I'm near the bottom of this pool with 23, but there's still time.

Including play-in game, I am 25-8. Only sweet 16 to go down, similar to many, was WF.

Think anyone's still in the running for the $1M perfect bracket? Cleveland State and Sienna?

If I get the final right, I could be in the running in the group. Not too many of us have UConn winning it all. BC & Wake getting bounced from my Sweet 16 wasn't helpful. A split of the OT games was a wash, I guess.

After the first round, ESPN's leaderboard lists 35 people having 310 / 320 possible points. No perfect brackets this year.

How many of the 35 got tripped up by Cleveland State? I will guess at least 2/3rds of them.
