So who's your final four?

Guess I put my faith in the wrong ACC team - NC State over UConn!

Hey, uh, Claire - you're the one who loves NC State, right?

God, I hate NC State. That's all I'll say about that. But I am sort of excited/nervous about a NC State/UNC match up at regionals. That would be cool for me, personally. Unless NC State beats UNC. Um, not cool.

UNC looked like champs this weekend. Awesome.

Duke made me nervous, but pulled their heads out. Louisville made me look like a genious. Apparently, I'm the only one that had them going to the Sweet 16.

Of my Sweet 16 picks, only 8 are alive. Illinois, OK State, Louisville, UNC, Villanova, Duke, Michigan State, Kentucky. Of my Elite 8, 6 are still in it--Illinois, OK State, Louisville, UNC, Duke, and Kentucky. And of my F-4, three are still in it, Illinois, UNC and Duke. So while the second round killed me (and everyone else) point-wise, I'm actually not doing as bad as I thought. I thought I was out. But so many locals picked Gonzaga and Pacific for the F-4, and others picked GA Tech or Wake as their F-2, that I'm in the same boat as them in that bracket! Only I still have Louisville alive. Whew. Does that make sense to anyone but me?

I need WA to lose something fierce.

Okay, back to real life for a few days........

So this morning I found out I'm not dead in the water yet.....I'm tied for second place with someone else. Craziness. My husband is tied for third with 3-4 other people. There are two people tied for first, and they're just a point ahead of me. From here on out we all have vastly different picks, so it's anyone's game!! I'm actually better situated with 6 of my Elite Eight in the tournament. Most don't have that, and everyone is down at least one F-4.

I think a deciding factor for me will be the Louisville/WA game. I need the Louisville points. Everyone else is out of that bracket, and I'm the only one who can benefit from that game, period.

Pacific, Gonzaga and GA Tech screwed a bunch of people, as did the obvious Kansas, Connecticut, and Florida losses.

It's actually really interesting this year!!

Games are on here at 4 p.m. Can't wait.

No way! I've got my fingers crossed for WA.
