The Kentucky steamroller edition

That was short lived.  Marissa W. #1 was in first place for the grand total of one game, before Kentucky knocked off Cincinnati and Marissa W. #1 became the next to last team to lose a Sweet 16 team.  Not only that, but she lost a Final 4 team, which caused her bracket to tumble all the way down to 16th.  Now Bhav R. #2 is only bracket left that hasn't lost a Sweet 16 team.  Good job, Bhav.

I kind of like the structure here.  I managed to go to the gym for a little bit during the Kentucky game.  I also got the mail, and I saw that I got a lot of envelopes.  I'll be sending something out later about who has paid and who hasn't so far.  Hopefully, that will be an easy conversation for everyone....

Here are the updated standings.  If you aren't Marissa, there is very little change to be had.

It looks like we're to the part of the day where games come every hour.  That means updates every hour.  I think I'll start off by providing stats for the next 2 games.

The first is Arizona / Ohio State.

The distribution is:

Arizona: 185

Ohio State: 10

Other: 11

Vegas Line:  Arizona -10

That line seems high to me.  Ohio State looked pretty decent in the opening game against VCU.  Maybe Arizona really is just that good.  I would like to see an Ohio State upset here.  They have a great player and are not going to be too intimidated by Arizona, so they might have a shot.

The second game is Xavier / Georgia State

Xavier: 29

Georgia State: 4 (Michelle R. #1, Jax Q, William G. #3, Sally R.)

Other: 173

Vegas Line: Xavier -6.5

This looks like it could be another upset in the making.  That would be fun since the highest ranked bracket that would get points is currently in 144th place.

Good luck to everyone!!!!
