    This will change a lot by the end of Sunday's games. Arizona (Sweet 16) Virginia (Elite 8) and Purdue (Champion) sank me. Purdue seems to perennially under-perform but they just never adjusted last night. I'm the dummy who picked them to be different this year though.

    :eek:

    Some have their entire Final 4 still playing.

    Adios AU and Broome. if you’re not a gator, you’re gator bait. Well, probably not gator bait… but we will root against you, and hope someone else beats you.

    Always good to see the barners and the sweaty one lose.

    There are four FFs that remain intact from the 15-team field.

    After 1.5 rounds, gatorteor, llm, and I are tied for first. Tenor will be seeking a Baylor win, whereas llm and I have Creighton in that one. llm also benefits if Kentucky beats Kansas St and TCU beats Gonzaga. Those appear to be the swing games today.

    K-State up 3 at half on UK. KJ with a bad first half. UK at 18% from 3, but wow....K-State at 0-12.

    Only four of the top eight seeds are left. What a bonkers tourney and here comes Michigan St doing their thing again. Them beating 2-seed Creighton was reminiscent of when they whipped our tails (same seeding) in Tampa during the Roberson/Walsh years.

    I checked the standings and calculated your points. Both come to 41. Is something amiss?

    Looks right to me too. Amazing how we've all been bunched from the beginning with a point or two separating most. All those upsets really hammered us all in different ways. A couple of us would get knocked back and it looked good for a couple others and then they would get knocked back.

    23 + 19...must be an issue with the round-by-round scores

    I counted Round 1 = 1 and Round 2 = 2 and came up with the same scores they're reporting.

    Sorry - the 19 is a typo on my part. Given that round two games are worth 2pts, the odd number is not possible. Those should be 18 and I've edited it. Thanks for the explanation. :)

    Your method is no worse than the NCAA Selection Committee's methods.

    Thanks. Truth is, I don't really have a method. We're all signed up on an online pool service that tabulates the scores using a 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 scoring system. I'm just reporting what the online pool shows, but the scores were not updated yet, so I calculated rd2 on my own and made a mistake.
