Sweet 16 - 4 teams in

It's been all chalk today.  So far, not one team has made the Sweet 26 that was supposed to be there by the seeds.  I was hoping that at least one upset would happen, but there's still some time.  Because of all the favorites winning, there really isn't much chance for people to move up.

The breakdown of the last 2 games goes like this:

2/2:  168 brackets
1/2: 69 brackets
0/2: 9 brackets

So 9 people took a risk that didn't pay off this time.  There are a lot of games left.  I'm hoping that an upset happens so that someone brave enough to take it gets rewarded.  As for the day as a whole, here's the breakdown:

4/4: 149 brackets
3/4: 71 brackets
2/4: 25 brackets
1/4: 1 bracket (Chris L. #3)

Here are the current standings.  They look a whole lot like the last standings:

The good news is that an upset is brewing in the Dayton / Syracuse game.  As Dayton is the last A-10 team left in the tournament, they need to hold he banner for that conference.  Here's the distribution of the picks:

Syracuse: 158
Dayton: 9
Other: 79

Wisconsin: 187
Oregon: 47
Other: 12
.
.Congratulations to the Aztecs.  They made it as far as they ever have under Steve Fischer.  I'm pretty happy about that.  I'm really pulling for the Flyers to beat Syracuse.  I'm convinced the Orangemen are terrible after seeing them lose home games to Boston College and Georgia Tech at the end of the season.  Plus they knocked off my Broncos.  Go Flyers!!!!
