YOUR TYPICAL UPSET AND DOUBLE OT NIGHT!
> Another Number 1 goes down when the Orangemen get crushed by some Bulldogs!
> Kentucky's Cats athleticism finally stops the Brainiac Cinderella from Cornell! It was a good run!
> The Mountaineers stifled the Huskies with defense and offensive boards all over the place!
> But the GAME of the night was K State over Xavier. Xavier was killing me (my bedtime got pushed back a half an hour!) with two unlikely last second 3's (free throws and then a trey) to force double overtimes. I mean that was almost a half court shot for a three to force the second overtime! Unbelievable! They ran out of gas or luck in the the second overtime (thankfully)! The Cats saved 3 points in our contest for the majority of the group.
OBSERVATIONS -
>My alma mater - University of Washington - was the last one standing of our neighborhood contestants. Surprising to me that they advanced that far!
>Is Butler, at a Number 5 seed, considered a cinderella team? I vote yes, mainly based on the conference they come from. When is the last time a Horizon Conference team ended up in the Elite Eight?
>We are all doing as well as or better than Sports Illustrated, and also better than if you just chose the Seeds! I'll try and get Obama's picks. I haven't scored them yet.
> The HUFFMANS are tied, but for the other husband- wife match ups in our contest in the 'hood, the male gender is ahead so far. Last year I think it was reversed!
> I think we may be heading to an all time low number of points for the year end winner this year. Too many upsets and the favorites not advancing.
>Not too much change in the standings after Thursday!
> It's a little early to predict who will win. We have had winners go from near last to first in the past. If you pick the national champ you have a good chance of winning still!
NATIONAL CHAMPION POOL
> Only SEVEN PLAYERS remain with a chance of naming the correct National champion and sharing $100.
> BASKETBALL BOBBY lost his Syracuse pick tonight.
> Fourteen of us are sitting on the sidelines after giving up our money!
SWEET SIXTEEN
>COWBOY JOE (Syracuse), BIG ONIONS DOUG (Washington), MAGIC MIKE (Cornell), and CHIP FAN JAN (Xavier) all surrendered their Money to the eventual winner.
>HOT ROD BILL (Butler), BUBBA JEFF (West Virginia), $ BILL (Kentucky) and THE KING JONAH (K state) kept their hopes alive for the big pay off!
