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. :D

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......

Baby Still Needs A New Pair Of Shoes ...
 
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.

And Kansas is about to go. There goes my pick to win it all in the second round.

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.

count me in that group, plus I had New Mexico in the Final Four. I'm shooting for last now.

With Villanova going down too, I think there are a good many in your shoes......

Based on the entries submitted for ESPN's Bracket Challenge its 66.4% of brackets submitted! K-State & BYU getting underway.

Raymond Sat Mar 20, 2010 07:54pm

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. :o


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.
