just a reminder, if you want to play you've got about 15 more minutes to get your picks in.

I filled out this bracket, plus 5 on ESPN & 1 on another website.  They are all a little bit different, although most have Kansas vs. Illinois in the final.  3 of my 5 ESPN brackets came through 16 for 16 today.  Whoopee!

Pressing Luck Marches On ... I'm now 22 of 24.  Happily, both the teams I guessed wrong on, I had losing in the next round anyway.

I have no idea  what, if any, were upsets.  Ah well.

Mark: nice comeback!

I'm currently still among the leader-board, but not for long, as I had Gonzaga going to the Final Four.  Whoops.  Awaiting the Mshray overtaking, here's the group scores as of 11am EST:

GAZ15 - (37 Points)
MSHRAY63 - (36 Points)
AVON2000 - (25 Points)
PRINCESSOFCAIRO - (20 Points)

The overall leader has 39, fwiw.

I picked a lot of the upsets, including W. Virginia over Wake Forest, Vermont over Syracuse & Utah over Oklahoma, but at the same time I had both Kansas & Gonzaga in the Final 4 with Kansas winning it all, so I have already lost most of my points

I have a long history of combining inadvertent successes with well-intentioned flops.  Par for the course.  Things aren't lookin' good for 'Nova, though ...

What a clever idea!  Me likes!

(We're too small a group to do something similar here, but I'll keep this in mind for larger boards!)

P.S.  Looks like it's gonna be an all-"Dark Star" Final Four.
