Well, a lot of brackets were trashed today, but don’t throw them away yet. After tomorrow’s games, we will be able to see which entries still have a chance to win money and you might be surprised. A quick look at standings here.

How Bad Was Your Day?
So we now have 2 double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16. Two games to go. How’s this for adding insult to injury or pouring salt on a wound. Sisyphus, who was already last at the end of Round 1, today lost Villanova, New Mexico, AND Kansas in his Final Four. Only Pitt remains and that’s because they don’t play until tomorrow. The order on top: SilverSurfer, SlackJaw (who were submitted by the same person, Jon J.), and my mom (Besst). Just 4 still have their Final 4 intact.
Jonna Rocks!
Wow. Wow. Wow. The first #1 seed falls and who would’ve expected it to be Kansas? Well, Jonna Rocks did. She rocketed up 35 spots from a tie for 77th to a tie for 42nd. How heavy a favorite was Kansas? 64 picked them to win, 83 had them in the Final, and 96 had them in the Final Four. Wow. Wow. Wow.
The Big LEast
Another Big East team fell, this time our first “big” team to go, Villanova who lost to St. Mary’s (Ca.). That’s the fifth Big East team to fall (of 8). Boy, if we had 96 teams we could’ve gotten two more Big East teams! AndyParsons2 and Max Approved were the only ones to pick the Gaels. Butler was picked by 50 (boy, great defense on the last play, not even giving Murray St. a shot at the basket). And 17 picked Tennessee. SilverSurfer is alone in first but he has Villanova as his champion. Three others lost Villanova as their champ and 45 others had them in their Final Four. So 1 of the 3 double-digit teams have survived with 5 more to go.
Issue # 4.1.2 “Normalized”
2010 HWCI NCAA Pool Update. We should have the money breakdown and also the Bonus Prize details on Monday.
Settled Down
After a wild Thursday, Friday took more to form with 13 top seeds winning. Suznana and SilverSurfer are on top getting 27 correct (54 pts). Sisyphus is last with 34 pts. Random is the only person who could win all 16 games in the next two days. And the Pac-10 win both games (Cal exploding to a large early lead) and maybe, might get a little respect.
