Men's Tournament News!!!!! Kansas wins the championship (what a game) and Bill wins the pool!!! Greg comes in 2nd being the only one who picked Kansas to win.
3/23 Update
Wow what a 1st couple of rounds! All the #2 seeds strugle with Gerogetown going down. And I'll never forget the "Turmoil in Tampa"!! First, #12 Western Kentucky knocked off #5 Drake in OT. Then, #13 San Diego upended #4 UConn in overtime. Next #13 Siena led from the start to send #4 Vanderbilt home! Finally #12 Villianova sent #5 Clemson packing. What a region!!
3/29 Update
Most of the Sweet 16 games were blow outs. Bill's still in the lead having picked 7 of the elite 8 right.
3/30 Update
All #1s in the Final Four for the first time! Well at least there were a lot of upsets early.
4/5 Update
It's Memphis (1st time in 35 years) & Kansas is in the Finals . The pool is down to the final game too, if Memphis wins - Brad/Austin wins, anything else and Bill Smith wins.
