Congratulations to our Second Round Leaders


It was an interesting weekend.  Lots of favorites have made their way to the Sweet 16.  There is only one double digit seed left, and while we tend to like to call them Cinderella, it is hard for me to consider UCLA a Cinderella team – but the likes of NC State, Michigan State and Wichita State don’t feel right either.   Looks like we will have a lot of the traditional power conferences fight it out for the championship.

But I can ramble about that later.  Lets get to the standings.

The leaders in the pool are Edward Zhang and the Lunatic’s eight year old son, Charlie Hodgson – sitting great with 490 points.

But they are followed closely by Tony Bisese, Greg Williams, Nick Kindig, Chris Franklin, Jason Lee, Dave Wagner, Will Shipley, Dominic Shaw, and Kynan Bush at 480 points, and another 11 people at 470.

In the Upset Pool, Donna Woodburn is still well ahead at 233 points.  Will Shipley has moved into 2nd with 211 – followed by Greg Williams (208), Jason Lee (203), Clay Holloway (202) and Brian Lawton (202).

The Lunatic is currently being thoroughly stomped – as his picks are both in the middle of the pack (best in a tie for 101st place).

But for those of you in the middle, remember the points go up from here on in – so if you have some wilder picks still alive to make it to the Final Four, you have chances to move up.

For those of you who might have hung you hopes on some of the surprising upset teams like Villanova, Virginia, Kansas, Iowa State and Baylor and have already ripped up your bracket – don’t forget – there is always the Second Chance Pool.  That’s right, there is that chance for redemption to start over so don’t forget to login and fill out your second chance entry!
