End of Round One
Anyone who went to bed missed a great pair of final games, one double OT and one single OT with a 12 knocking off a 5 for the third time this year!....this is what March Madness is all about!
Tracey Leavens wasn't perfect on the second day but she was good enough to stay in first place. Alan wasn't perfect either but he rallied late with both Siena and Wisconsin to move into second place all by himself.
Please double check your scores. Let's hear some comments...talk some smack...make a prediction...

Great tourney thus far w/ all the 10s and 12s winning. I'd be tied with the lad if I didn't always pick the Ivy champ to win in the first round.
Thanks again Steve for all your hard work.
Thanks again Steve for all your hard work.
To Alan Trotochaud - You might be tied for first with Tracey if you had bothered to pick the Oklahoma State vs. Tennessee game!
GAH! You know if they had just stopped the games at 9:30 last night I'd be in really good shape....I missed 3 out of 4 of the late night games after missing 2 of the first 28!
BTW, here's a question for everyone. What do Clemson, FSU, Wake Forest, and BC have in common?
They are all in the ACC and they all lost to lower seeds in the 1st round. Can I take my UNC to win it all pick back?

Steve,
I did pick the Oklahoma St game on my ESPN.com tournament challenge printout, but must have missed it when I had to copy it over to your form. Any chance that I could get credit for it? You can check out my picks on the ESPN Tournament Challenge site listed as EO Smith to see it there.

To Alan T(Bigal66) - I did not take your request lightly. In fact I just got off the phone with two people, one from EO and one from EH. Since the game has been played and since other people also left blanks unfortunately the answer in no. Hopefully you continue to do well and the one point difference doesn't matter one way or the other.
