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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In the upset pool, Austin McElroy trails Brent by 3, Jennifer Miller by 9, Deborah Waite by 11, and Logan Horgan by 12.<\/p>\n
A couple of 2nd round notes:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
