The results for the second day of the second round of the NCAA Tournament was not quite as crazy as Thursday. Only 4 lower seeds won on Friday, with most of the other games being blowouts. Not so exciting. The biggest shock would have to be #11 VCU taking out #6 Georgetown or #11 Marquette destroying #6 Xavier. Other than that there was not much to watch. And in my little study, the leader is Yahoo.com Basketball expert Jason King with 25 of 32. My 3 year old Soccer Star, who has picked 24 out of 32 winners is a close second. So here are our totals so far.
25 of 32. Jason King Upset-#11 Marquette & #11 VCU. JK picked both of these upsets. I guess research does help. Big Loss-None. Jason still has all his Sweet 16 alive.
24 of 32 Soccer Star Upset:-None. picked all higher seeds. Big Loss: #6 Xavier, #6 Georgetown. Because of Soccer Star's method of choosing his teams, the #6 seed made it all the way to the Elite Eight in each region. So has now lost 3 of is Elite Eight with #6 St. John's also losing on Thursday.
22 of 32 Irish Girl Upset-None. She had all high seeds picked. Big Loss:None. All of her Sweet 16 teams are still playing.
20 of 32 Super Dad Upset-#11 VCU. One of my many upset picks. Big Loss- #6 Xavier. I had them in the Sweet 16.
17 of 32 Mascot v. Mascot Upset: #11 VCU. Rams knock out Hoyas. Big Loss- #6 Xavier, #8 UNLV. The Mascot Battlers believed that the Musketeers and the Runnin' Rebels would shoot heir way to the Elite 8. Uh ooh!
So what we have learned so far is that picking based on fictional mascot fights might get you a few upsets, but ultimately leaves you hurting, picking a bunch of upsets kills your bracket, and letting a 3 year old pick teams leads to almost as much success as endless house of study and game watching. Can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks for stopping by.
