Annoying!!! I love it when I'm the only one who gets a pick right. When others do it, not so much!


Congrats to 1UNI2ISU (Oral Roberts) and Riceville98 (Cleveland)!

I love it when I'm the only one who gets a pick right.

It's so rare for me, I've forgotten how it feels.

Of note from Wednesday, Iona def. Siena in MAAC quarterfinal. Still alive w/ Iona are @CoachHines3 @IworkwithCyclone500 and @riceville98

 

[cyclones500]

Virginia out of ACC tournament due to virus, GT will advance to final. Two of us picked Virginia. A few still alive with Florida State.

 

[cyclones500]

Kansas has withdrawn from Big 12 tournament. One contestant has KU.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

This may not reflect games started at or around 5.00 pm, but I thought I would give you overall standings as of games completed by 5.00pm Friday. This way you can see what chances you have left, and know who to root for (or against) this weekend.. Me? Not gonna happen this year!
Conferences are in alphabetical order; however, the ones that have completed their tournaments have been shifted to the far right, If you see errors in my chart, please feel free to let me know!
