Well that sucks. I
really thought Iowa State was going to pull it out at the end of that game. Congrats to UAB for doing a variety of things:
Beating the #3 seed in the South region.
Providing the first upset of the day.
Making sure that virtually no one gets to keep a perfect bracket by probably
about noon today. Providing separation
in the standings. Being the first team
to beat a team that someone had winning it all.
As one might expect, an upset of that magnitude really
shakes up the standings (in as much as the standings can be shook up after 2
games). For the first 2 rounds I keep
the rankings based on points won, with the tiebreaker being the points
lost. So, a current perfect bracket
looks like this: 2(0). 2 points won, no
points lost. Jay H. #1 looks like this:
1(-63). He got Notre Dame right, but
Iowa State winning it all cost him 63 points (for reference, there are only 192
points possible).
That's the rankings.

Typically, after 2 games, there would be a lot more bunching
of scores, but a lot of people had Iowa State going out to the Sweet 16 or
further. They were a fashionable pick to
beat Gonzaga or Duke at some point. 173
people had them in the Sweet 16. 83 had
them in the Elite 8. 35 had them in the
Final 4. 20 people had them in the
Championship game, and the 1 person had them winning it all. Total devastation. I love it (kind of). I wish I was on the good side of the devastation. At least now I probably don't have to sweat
my bracket too much.
There are 2 more games coming up:
Butler / Texas. Here
is the pick distribution:
Butler: 108
Texas: 98
Pretty tight for Texas.
I thought they shouldn't be in the tournament at all, but people really
seem to like them.
The other game coming up is SMU/UCLA
SMU: 139
UCLA: 67
Speaking of not belong in the tournament, come on down
UCLA! Somehow "gaining steam"
while losing and beating also rans is good enough to make the tournament if you
happen to be named UCLA. I guarantee is
my alma mater happened to play the exact schedule, they would be in the
NIT. I am pulling hard against them,
even though I should really be hoping for all hell to break loose in the South
region to give me any kind of shot.
It sounds like the Baylor / Georgia State is coming down to
the end. 2 games in, 2 great finishes so
far. Let's go for 3!!!
BTW, I'm up to Katy Perry's "California
Gurls". I should be in the C's for a while.....
