    My wife went 15/16 yesterday; only one she missed on was Maryland-Belmont. Absolutely crushing the office pool right now. I thought I did OK with 13/16, but she's got the bragging rights for now.

    I don't watch a lot of college basketball throughout the year but always watch March Madness, and this year has been some of the worst played basketball by some teams that I have seen in March Madness. That Auburn game was a case of 2 teams that didn't want to win.

    First couple games of the day, I picked Iowa and Mississippi, wifey picked Cincinnati and Oklahoma. No shock, her teams are crushing mine.

    I think she's secretly been studying film when I thought she was reading Facebook.

    My brackets are still perfect. My NBA knowledge has trickled down to the NCAA. I'm cursed I guess.

    If Jarrett Culver ever figures out how to shoot 3's and free throws better he'd be a star in the NBA.

    I moved up a million spots in the ESPN pool with that win.

    Yep, only her second missed pick so far. She was honestly surprised when I pointed it out to her that she hadn't gone with Iowa in that game, since she has a bunch of family back there.

    This Kansas St. - UC Irvine game has become suddenly and shockingly interesting. N kentucky and Texas Tech too. Could be a couple major bracket busters.

    UC Irvine was one of the most picked upset teams because of K-State injuries.

    Heh--shows how closely I pay attention. Guess I probably shouldn't have picked them to go to the elite 8. :dry:

    Game tied at the half!

    I screwed up in one of my games as I swear I had picked Florida as an upset win over Nevada, but obviously checked the wrong box. With that win I might be in the top 800. :bgrin:

    Could Virginia legitimately lose to a 16 two years in a row?? Yes, it's still early in their game, but being down 17-10 to Gardner-Webb after making history last year against UMBC last year is really not a good look.
