March Madness: Broken Brackets and Shattered Dreams

There was once a gentleman with the dream of correctly picking the winner the the 2011 NCAA National Basketball Championship.  He set out to defeat the Irish Girl and his son Soccer Star.  These three battled with evil expert Jason King and with the Mascots fighting it out.  The result was a rout. SuperDad was laid to waste with his Fighting Irsihmen being defeated early and the Huskies of Washington also going down in a close one.  Now Super dad has only 1 pick left in the final 4. 

Thats right.  ONE!!!!  A travesty I tell you.  The only team I have left in the Final 4 is Duke.  So here are the gut wrenching results from last weekend.

Jason King picked  35 of 48 games correctly with 45 Tourney points.  Upset- none.   Big loss-Pitt.  JK had them coming out of the Southeast region.

Irish Girl  picked  31 of 48  games correctly with 40 Tourney point.  Upset- None.  Big Loss- Pitt.    IG had Pitt in Final Four, but she still has 3 left including her champ OSU.

Super Dad picked 28 of 48 games correctly  with 36 Tourney points.  Upset- VCU into Sweet 16.  Big loss-  Where to start.  #2Notre Dame were my pick to win it,  #7 Washington was my runner-up pick, and I had #1Pitt in my Final Four.  Bad weekend

Soccer Star  picked 28 of 48 games  correctly with 32 Tourney points.  Upset-None.  Big Loss- Pitt in Final Four.  He will beat me easily.

Mascot v. Mascot  picked 21 of 48 games correctly.with 25 Tourney points.  Upset-#11 VCU.  Big Loss- Michigan State(winner), Fighting Irish(runner-up), and Mountaineers(final 4) are all out.

So overall it looks like actually watching the games and crunching stats does in fact give you a little advantage when picking games.  Who Knew?!  We will see who comes out on top and I will continue to update you and give the rest of our picks.  Have fun this weekend!!
