Ouch, me too. My first sweet 16 team to go down.

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.

I thought about listing the distribution of the games that caused the trips, but then I realized that that I don't have too much time of my hands. 😛

Hansborough goes out of the LSU game bleeding......

Jerry Quarry would be proud.

But apparently he was not directed to leave, because he shot free throws first.

Today is going to hurt, I only have 5 games where I even have a chance; and one of them is an 11/3 upset.

He got called for traveling twice in the game, which is twice more than I recall seeing before.

I had Marquette and USC advancing out of this round and there was a shot until really late in both of these games. Had I won those, I would've been in really good position.

I still have my entire elite 8 left, but I'm way behind now.

Maybe it's a mosquito.

I keep thinking "this is my year" and it never is. Oh, well.

I've got 7 of 8 left, 4 of 4, but like you, I'm way behind.

I have UConn over UNC in the final. If that combo happens, I will pick up a lot of points and make up some lost ground.

I am really upset we have not been talking extensively about Women's brackets. I think we need a new sticky. 😀

Peace

Rock Chalk.

That is all. Hoping for a different result vs Michigan State than the January game.
