I’m nearly in the opposite situation in the SDMB Bracketeers pool. I’m still lingering near the bottom, but I have the highest PPR of anyone. All my Final Four teams are alive.
Don’t think I’ve ever been alone in 1st going into the Sweet 16 before. 27/32 in the 1st round was a personal record to for my annual ESPN bracket. 93%tile is still only good for 1.4M place though! I’m sure picking against my Badgers will haunt me in the end though, as I had Villanova as the champ.
22/32 for the first round and 9/16 correct in the sweet 16 (3 of my final 4 are still in)
Tied for 54th place at work.

Tyler Dorsey with 27 points on 90% shooting last night, only the third guy to do that in the tournament in the last 25 years. The other two were Blake Griffin in a 28 point win over Morgan State in 2009 (28 pts, .917), and, perhaps more memorably, Christian Laettner in the 1992 final 31 pts, 1.000).:eek:
So I’m in second place, and the first and third place players had Villanova winning it all.
The fourth through sixth place players all have Gonzaga, who I thought Northwestern was going to beat. 
I have 11 of the Sweet 16 right, which I thought was pretty good until I noticed you could have gone 12-4 just by picking all the top four seeds.
The only hope I have to crawl out of the basement is for UCLA and Gonzaga to meet in the title game. If so, and if Gonzaga wins, I might finish somewhere in the middle of the pack. Best I can hope for.
I did find it interesting that out of the nine ACC teams to make the tourney, eight did not make it past the first weekend. Has there *ever *been such a total conference flop?
Great two games to start off the Sweet 16. Let’s hope they keep it up.
#11 Xavier knocks off #2 Arizona? Wha??!?
go cincinnati! Go uk!
Kansas has won by 38, 20 and 32 - how much do they beat Oregon by?
Arizona is the first one of my Final Four teams to get eliminated. What a bunch of idiots!
One thing you can count on: the 'Cats will choke in the Sweet Sixteen. This has been going on since the Lute Olson era. I say this as a long-time Wildcats fan.
Can someone explain the end of the Gonzaga - WVa game to me? WVa was down three, seconds left, and it looked like the dude was just dribbling around in circles, not even trying to get a shot off. My wife thought maybe he didn’t know how much time was left on the clock, but jeez, how could you not?
He couldn’t find a shot or an open man. Now, if someone could explain the previous 3 minutes…
It looks like there are a lot of empty seats for the Carolina-Butler game, I wonder why?
Never mind, now I know why.
Baylor is gone. I’m screwed.
D’Arin Fox, a men amongst boys…on to UNC!
GO XAVIER! Come back and win this thing!
And no.
