Right now in my NCAA bracket, I’m 7th. I only missed 3 games yesterday and none of them were of major importance (Indiana, LSU, Alabama). I haven’t lost a Sweet 16 team yet, which is a first for me. I almost lost 2 Final Four teams (BC and Gonzaga), but they both escaped.
I’m not counting on winning, but it sure would be nice. There are 117 people in our pool at $10 each…winner gets 65%.
You do the math.
Definitely not liking the BC and Gonzaga picks man, sorry. Adam Morrison is only going to save Gonzaga so many times, and he used one up last night. BC I thought was really overrated… Some interesting stuff from SI: analyzing “efficiency ratings” and checking their defense. BC and Gonzaga rated poorly on both.
I also think Tennessee loses to Wichita State next round. WSU played both MSU and Illinois very tough, and they’re going to be a tough out.
Today’s upsets: Southern Illinois (I always pick the Salukis) over West Virginia and Kent State over Pitt. I’d also watch out for Northern Iowa over Georgetown.
Salukis have had a nice run, but they are going to lose to Pittsnogle and Co.
