NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen Day 1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

So half of the Elite 8 is set, with number 1 seeds Kentucky and Wisconsin leading the way.  Unfortunately, I honestly do not have much to write since the majority of the brackets got all 4 of yesterday’s winners correct.  Most of those that were not perfect yesterday had 3 write, and if you were one of the few that only correctly predicted 2 winners, you lost ground.

Kingfish Rod Parham and George Walks continue to lead the pack, although we have a new entrant in third place.

We lost no champions yesterday, so the champions in play remain the same.  Although two of those will fall Saturday night as both matchups consist of two champions:  Kentucky v. Notre Dame and Wisconsin v. Arizona.  As a reminder, he champions selected this year are:  Arizona, Duke, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Notre Dame, SMU, Villanova, Virginia, Wisconsin.  Bold teams remain in the tournament.

No picks of the day as most people had all 4 teams correct.   I will mention Steven Usma #3 for having Harvard going into the Sweet Sixteen – not that I am a homer or anything.  Perhaps things will be a bit more exciting after tonight’s games – where we do have lots of varying picks.

I also want to give a shout out to Daxter Miles, Jr., the freshman starter at West Virginia who incorrectly predicted on Wednesday that Kentucky would be 36-1 after West Virginia won the game.  Not only were you wrong, and not only did your entire team get humiliated and doubled up (Final score 78-39), but you did not score a single point.  Learn when to keep your mouth shut.

Have fun watching the last half of the Elite 8 advance.  Remember today’s game count for four points.

As always, please double check your math as I may have missed something.  I corrected a few ballots from yesterday’s results, as yes, I even double-check myself.

Now, on to the standings.  Ties, for now, are listed alphabetically.
