(2) VCU vs. Indiana

(3) Colorado vs. Baylor

(4) New Mexico vs. Louisville

(5) Murray State vs. Marquette

(6) Syracuse vs. Kansas State

(7) Vandy vs. Wisconsin

(8) Gonzaga vs. Ohio State UPSET OF THE DAY!
 






I probably filled out a dozen different bracket games at various websites. For Round 2 most give 1 point for each correct pick. The best I did was 24 out of 32. The best score on any of the brackets that I could find was 30 out of 32. Nobody had a perfect score for Round 2. Now I understand why some of the bracket sponsors award $1M for a perfect bracket. It's essentiallly impossible to pick all the Rounds correctly. You'd have a better chance at getting struck by lightening first.

After MSU takes care of the Billikens tomorrow, at least 25% of the Sweet 16 will be from the Big Ten. If Purdue upsets Kansas, (highly unlikely), that would be five of the Sweet 16 from the Big Ten. IZZO!!!
 






So you're picking Norfolk St. again, Tinker? Over Florida this time? I am the first to admit that Norfolk St. is much better than a 15th seed. But the chances of them pulling off another big upset is 1000 to 1. I wish them well. But lightening rarely strikes twice in the same place.

heh--I am commited to them now. Let's see what happens.
 






Gators throttled your Nofuck St. Sorry I missed the picks. I will pick from Sweet 16 on. Oops.
 






Well, the results are in. Exciting basketball today.

#9 seed St Louis damned near knocked off #1 seed Mich. State. #10 seed Purdue came real close to turning the lights out on #2 seed Kansas. And then #6 seed Cincinnati beat #3 seed Florida St.

Looks like the only Cinderella team left standing is Ohio who beat So. Florida and earned a trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

Pick Score - 3/17

WINNER: BRONCO 4/4

Note: Bronco was the only picker for the first half of the Round 3 and wins by default. :D

Pick Score - 3/18

WINNER: BRONCO 5/3

2nd PLACE: TINKER 4/4

Prepare your picks for the SWEET SIXTEEN!

Games will post tomorrow.
