Huge props to Scott T who nailed both Butler and WV into the final 4.

I've got Baylor and West Virginia in the Final 4. trying to see if I can climb out of 60th place and make a run If Tennessee and Baylor both win tomorrow and Baylor slips in to the championship game, it ought to destroy the remianing brackets.

The early rounds don't matter so much as the final rounds. The points are stacked towards those that guess the later and final rounds.

This is proof (as we Hooisers say) that even a blind squirrel will find an acorn every once in a while. Sadly, I had Kansas winning the whole thing so I will enjoy being on top of the leaderboard while it lasts.

Go Bulter!

Go Baylor! (even though I picked Duke)

I like to see "other" teams win the NCAA rather than the usual suspects.
