espn tournament challenge

[Rich]

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.

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.

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......

My point is that I haven't done much of anything. I picked West Virginia to go to the Final Four. Only "upset" pick, really. Oh, I picked Baylor to go to the Elite Eight.

So nobody picked 3 of the 4? No surprise, I guess, since few outside of Michigan would've picked Michigan State and even fewer picked Butler.

My wife's bracket is right behind mine, BTW. She is one first round pick (equivalent) behind mine. She knows nothing about basketball. She thought she was picking Ohio State when she picked Ohio to beat Georgetown.

I've got 3 out of 4.
Duke, MSU, WV. (Vandy was my 4th, thought they had a cushy bracket)

But couldn't get bracket loaded in on time this year.
22 of 32 R1
8 of 16 R2
5 of 8 R3
3 of 4 R4
Have MSU beating Duke.

Coach, that's the equivalent of telling the referee, "I officiate in [some other state]," before the game.
