If at least 3 games are decided by 3 or fewer points in the NCAA Men’s Championship today, 2010 will set a record for most games decided by 3 or fewer points since the field expanded to 64 in 1985. And with 2 more OT games, 2010 will set a record for most OT games in the 1st Round since the field expanded to 64 in 1985.
All the upsets caused havoc in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge yesterday, where just 56 perfect brackets remain of the 4.8 million entries. Not surprisingly, 3 Georgetown’s loss was the biggest blow to many brackets, as 97.6 percent of all brackets had Georgetown advancing past Ohio and 41.8 percent had the Hoyas in the Elite 8, including President Obama. The Commander-in-Chief had a relatively good day otherwise, and is in the 97th percentile of all entries (96.9). (via)

She chose teams based solely on mascots and team colors. FML.
It should be noted she took Lehigh over Kansas. Last night when she told me, I laughed heartily.
Tonight? Maybe not as funny.
Kinda like this SNL?
Congrats Rachel. I think.
Damnit. Last night was not good to me. Every year I tell myself not to do any research whatsoever and in the end I overthink everything. Next year.
CBS and ESPN all lock down brackets and groups (understandably) after the games start. But isn’t there / shouldn’t there be a place where you can input multiple brackets yourself to help track them over the tournament? Why do I have to do all of this by hand still myself, if the people I’ve in a pool with are on different platforms or didn’t fill it out online? Is there a place to do this? Please?
Fucking beautiful today.
