I've come to a conclusion: Harvard players are bots, that calculate their shot.


Add an 'S' to the word shot, and that is a pretty impressive rhyme. Nice. Was that implied?

Is this where I brag about picking Harvard to win not only this game, but the round of 32 as well? Then again, I really shouldn't talk. UNLV, Belmont, Pitt, and Mizzou all let me down. I even had Pitt beating the Zags next.......

13 wins on day one... Called both the 5-12 upsets, but missed Harvard-UNM... at least that means Arizona to the sweet 16 will be a bit easier. Also missed both of the 8-9 games, but oh well.

That's Day One, on to Day Two:
I have upsets today of:

10 OKLA over 7 SDSU in Philly

9 TEMP over 8 NCST in Dayton

10 COLO over 7 ILL in Austin

Aside from that, I think the top seeds hold up, but this is March, after all, so who knows?

How did you miss the 2 8-9 games? Wichita has been way more consistent all year than Pitt.

And for CSU, #4 rebounding team in country, Missouri #2 rebounding team in country, so whats the difference? CSU shoots a lot of 3s, and still is #4. Also, CSU is a more experienced team (seniors mostly) much like valpo (didn't help them) and Miami FL (We'll see).

good job on the others though, in fact great job.

Yours truly in first place :)

Pitt and Harvard my only two losses, and the Harvard loss probably helps me more than it hurts me, since I have Arizona in ther Final Four

Not sure how I let Witchita-Pitt get by me; guess let conference affiliation influence me a bit. The Mizzou game... no excuses there. There's several places on my bracket where I abandoned reason and statistics in making picks. Most of the others paid off. Besides, Mizzou was actually favored in that match up, surprisingly enough, so I wasn't the only one to make that call.

I'm in 9th right now; was 6th to open the day. Should jump a couple spots if Temple holds on, but the rest of the day looks like a real crap shoot... Aiming for 26-27 games correct; that should hold me up at the top.

I'm with you on that. And Creighton just now got a bit lucky. I still have them going to the Sweet 16.

Duke will own them. Gonzaga is gonna have it pretty easy now though. They play nothing but underdog teams.

That one was visible from a mile away for anyone who saw Mississippi during the SEC tournament.
