Well, fortunately, the late games weren’t very close. Sadly wasn’t in the mood to watch. Fortunately I have a short memory – not to mention as a Cubs fan, I am used to disappointment.

Since it is late, I will just go to the standings. Brent Peterson has dominated the first two rounds – leading both pools. He’s followed by Jennifer Miller, Stephanie Palermo, Steve Glass and Don Jr by 20 and Austin McElroy and Tanmay Gautam by 30.

In the upset pool, Austin McElroy trails Brent by 3, Jennifer Miller by 9, Deborah Waite by 11, and Logan Horgan by 12.

A couple of 2nd round notes:

After 2 rounds, there are only 4 of the 18 Big East and Big 10 schools left (2 from each conference) -Connecticut,Marquette,OhioSt, andWisconsin.

The Southwest bracket has totally broken down, with #12Richmond, #11 VCU and#10 Florida Ststill hanging around. That guarantees that we will have a double digit seed make the Elite 8 – pretty fun stuff.

The regular season and conference champions are rising to the top quicker than normal. It almost always happens – but this year of the 16 teams left, only 4 (Marquette, VCU,Florida St, andWisconsin) did not win either the regular season or conference tournament. Pretty impressive.
