    I was 4 for 4 tonight. I'm up to 189th place out of over 1,000,000 entrants on the main site. I've entered enough of these over the years (and rarely won) to know that it's better to be lucky than good any day. 

    I'm still unlikely to win our group just because I didn't pick Kentucky to win it all and they look as impressive as any college team I've ever seen.

    Yes it was. It out me in the uncomfortable position of feeling sorry for Bob Huggins.

    Now THAT was funny! :) Trouble was, if the game had gone the other way, you would have had to feel sorry for Calipari. Screwed either way 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I wouldn't have felt sorry for either of them if it were a close game.

    At this point the average bracket in our group is at 75th percentile in the overall pool.  We must be pretty good at this.

    Bummer. Even though it went against my bracket,  I was hoping for ND to pull it off.   Great game.

    With any luck, today's first game will be that good and the 2nd game will be a Duke blowout victory.  Given that I picked UVa to win the first game it can't possibly hurt or help my bracket.

    Hey listen, I don't have to tell you the strength of mid majors against one and done programs these days... Those seniors don't want it to end.  Scares me. Today will not be a cakewalk, especially if they've figured out okafor as I suspect they have...

    Well I had a good run while it lasted...  I have 3 teams in the final four but I had the Zags winning it all.  That should do me in.

    You're still in it - Wisconsin has as good a shot as anybody... except maybe UK...

    If Kentucky and Duke meet and Duke wins, I think I might have this one? :)

    @MaskedMarvel, does that mean you will be cheering for Kentucky in their semi-final against Wisconsin?  Even though I picked them to win every game so far I have cheered against them in every game.
