I’ve posted the unofficial standings and team & individual choice reports on Scott’s Update Page. As soon as we sort out some items (DR FUN, MR F, payments), we’ll make it official. If you don’t see your nickname on there, please let us (ncaa(at)hwci.com) know immediately. If you haven’t paid yet, please make arrangements with us immediately.

Poor USC
Someone had to choke, and for UCLA fans, having USC lose and UCLA win must be a blessing. I will have an update tomorrow morning if the internet works in the hotel (I’m losing this connection pretty soon…)…. If DR. FUN, MR F, or Meisha Collins mean anything to anyone, please contact ncaa(at)hwci.com ASAP.
Unofficially, 11 are tied for 1st going 15-1 today. SPITAKULARR & JUNO INO won their first 12 games before Arizona lost.
No Variation
Prelim analysis… of the 99 semi-confirmed entries, 43 picked UCLA. Only 7 teams were picked, which seems low — maybe I should’ve picked Duke instead of UCLA … nah.
Going to downtown Austin then to San Antonio (maybe). Will miss watching a lot of the games, including the USC-Kansas St game (maybe I’ll catch the ending). Tried to post using my cell phone and it wouldn’t let me in 🙁

If at least 1 of the 2 entries pans through, then we’ll have a 5th place prize… otherwise, we will have a top 4 (plus Bonus).
Deadline has passed
Now sorting through the entries begins… if everyone pays (and I think everyone is pretty much accounted for, even if we have to strongarm a couple of old-timers), we’ll have either 99, 100, or 101 entries (not including any that could come through the mail – which I don’t think I’ve received any in years).
Here in Austin, we get the stinkin’ Kansas game. Why not Xavier-Georgia? Well, I guess I’ll try March Madness on Demand…
My Picks
Laugh silently (I don’t have much sleep)…
Caught Up….
It’s 5 am here in Austin, and after only 1.5 hours sleep the past 48 hours, I’m bushed… and I still have to make my picks. BTW, as an unstated policy, we’ll be posting David and my picks before 9 am PDT (which is 11 am here!). Here is David’s:

We have either 87 or 88 entries so far which puts us back on pace as last year so we may not top 100 entries. There’s still the chasing down the money part, but we should have a clear idea of the number of entries by Friday night.
