Standings update - 6 games in & first big upset

 Well, things are just getting interesting.  We’ve had some minor upsets on the day, like a 11 beating a 6, and a 9 beating an 8, but this particular 12 beating a 5 was brutal kind of across the board.  As I mentioned in the last post, a lot of people really liked Iowa as an underseeded #5.  Richmond was kind of an afterthought after having to win their conference tournament just to get in.  That’s why they play the games though, and it was a pretty big shakeup in the standings.

In the other game, Tennessee pounded Longwood, looking everything like the team people expected when they won the SEC tournament.  Arguably, Tennessee and Iowa were really similar.  Both were probably the third best teams in their conferences and they both won their conference tournaments, but if you backed one today, you like your chances and if you backed the other, you are hoping a lot of other stuff breaks for you.

So, only 42 people can win any points in the Providence / Richmond Round 2 game.  50 people lost an elite 8 team.  29 people lost a Final 4 team and 3 people had Iowa in the Finals.  No one had them winning it all, so that was a bit of a bullet dodged if you want to look at the bright side.  We are also down to 2 perfect brackets.  There is a reason no one ever gets a perfect bracket….

There are still 2 games left of the “morning sessions”.  It looks like North Carolina is crushing Marquette in one game and Gonzaga is really struggling to get clear of Georgia State in the other.  That’s about the exact opposite of what I was expecting.  If Gonzaga goes down……  Dare I even dream that big?!?!?
