Anyone remember the website from last year where you picked each game but it gave each team fictitious names and you picked simply on numbers and resumes?
Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

As good as this draw is for UOP, the Lady Tigers have an even better draw in the WNIT. If EWU upsets Washington, UOP will win the whole thing....

I'm offended that even in your cracked out dream world Southern doesn't stand a chance.

I suppose I was the worst, and it was my own dang myopic fault....

Holy crap! I'm NOT last! Of course, 8 out of 12 isn't all that good, either, but it COULD be worse.
Dub is winning by a pretty healthy margin, but he's done. RK and Vidav are tied for second, but if I understand the scoring correctly, are within striking distance because they still have Louisville winning the title. A couple of others ALSO have Louisville, but they're slightly short of RK and Vidav. Given what I saw today, despite my claim of bogus officiating at the end of Louisville-Wichita State, Louisville looks to be a MUCH better team than Michigan.
So I'm going to go out on a limb and congratulate RK and Vidav for a shared title. (Yes, that will be broken by the tiebreaker, but I have no clue how that will go. This could be a close game [favoring V], or it could be a blowout [favoring RK].)

Congratulations to Vidav, who won TJ's Bracket Challenge with 110 points via tie-breaker due to his 76-71 final score prediction. RK finished second (also 110 points) via his score prediction of 67-59.
A girl finished third (107 points), and TJ himself (105 points) just edged CitadelGrad (104 points) for fourth. Having nobody in the final cost Dub (101 points), dropping from first to sixth. TJ's second bracket finished seventh (73 points), and I was eighth (59 points). The final three places (one guy apparently turned in a blank bracket) showed 58, 54, and 53 points. Points were awarded on a 32-16-8-4-2-1 basis.
Congrats again, Vidav! You da man!!!

Of the three brackets I did this year that is one first and two second place finishes. Not bad for someone that doesn't follow bball outside the Griz.
