It was probably good that the late games were not as interesting – both UConn and Alabama ran away to finish off the 16 teams that will advance to next Thursday and Friday.

I will probably have more to blog about it over the upcoming week, but since it is late, we will simply congratulate the leaders!

Matt Reilly is our leader in both pools – he got 14 of the Sweet 16 teams correct to take the lead.

In the Standard Pool, he is followed by a 6 way tie for 2nd between Joe Chapman, Mary-Rian Bradley, Joseph Laucius, Al Lester, Bo Luy and his other bracket at 530. Just 40 points behind in a tie for 8th are Heath Lindvall, both of Alan Miller’s brackets, Eric Morton, David Caldwell, Sam Franklin, Rob Bradley, Jennifer Ogle, Mark Schumaker, Dan Fischer, Kennedy Urban, and Earl McKnight.

In the Upset Pool, our top 5 places are the following – Matt leads at 234 points, Lochlan Middlebrook is in 2nd at 213 points, Tony Wilson is in 3rd at 211 points, Al Lester is in 4th at 204 points, and Mark Walsh is in 5th at 203 points.

If you were one of the people who picked Florida and had to tear your bracket up thanks to the Iowa Hawkeyes hitting a three pointer from the corner with 4 seconds left, don’t despair. That is because the Second Chance Pool is ready and available – simply go to the Login link and it will take you to the entry form.

Everyone deserves a second chance!!!! And in the Stomp the Lunatic contest, this second chance is free – it is already included in your entry fees. So, there is no reason to miss out on taking advantage of your second chance.

Good luck to everyone in continuing to Stomp the Lunatic!!!!
