NCAA TOURNAMENT POOL STANDINGS

Round 2 Day 1 

Down goes Frazier!!!  OK, maybe not Frazier, but the defending champions the Villanova Wildcats were outsted by the Wisconsin Badgers.  That means the pool lost another champion.  Not just Villanova went down, as the pool also lost champions Florida State and Notre Dame.  That leaves us with 10 remaining champions:  Arizona, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, Miami, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Oregon, UCLA, Villanova, Wisconsin.  This list will remain the same throughout all of the updates, but I will remove the “bold” from teams as they lose.

Rich Samuels #1 is the highest ranked entry that has lost its champion already.  He had Villanova.

We have a new leader, and it is a familiar name as Adam Jorgensen 2 regains the lead, helped along by picking the Wisconsin upset of Villanova.  Yesterday's leader, Jonathan Wasserman, falls to third.

Our Picks of the Day is shared by Jennifer Armstrong and Steven Usma 3, both of whom selected Wisconsin and Xavier, earning 5 bonus points for each game.  They were the only brackets to earn both bonuses.  For those of you that had Xavier, but had them defeating Florida Gulf Coast, congrats on your two points, but you do not get the five bonus points.Jennifer Armstrong soars to second place not only because of the two bonuses, but because she went 7-1 yesterday, missing only her upset selection of Middle Tennessee State over Butler.

A very interesting pick was made by Christian Searcy, who successfully selected Florida to defeat Virginia; his alma mater.

We had no unanimous selections yesterday, which means a couple of people each selected against Gonzaga and Arizona, mostly to their dismay.
.

Some exciting games today starting right now as Michigan plays Louisville.  Kentucky - Wichita State should be a barn burner as well.  Biggest potential shock to watch is Rhode Island - Oregon and USC - Baylor.

As always, please review the standings and double check my math, as I may have missed something, missed an upset, or just simply miscalculated.  I try to be accurate, but sometimes I do mess up.  I will listen and change things as necessary.  If you point out a potential mistake, I will not take offense, but I will go re-score your entire bracket to make sure everything is accurate.

Please remember to pay, if you have not.  Payment instructions are on the rule sheet, or you can make other arrangements with me as necessary.

Good luck to everyone, and happy game watching.  Now, on to the standings.
