Comments:
Great job, Joe!

My antipathy for Duke--and my Lehigh Valley roots--STILL wouldn't let me make this pick.

Take that, Coach K, you preening self-righteous fraud.
 
Among the best parts of this pool is that, year after year, its lifeguard, one Steve Arch, is among its least successful participants.

Nevertheless, he goes on, his boat against the current, hoping that THIS YEAR is the one time he'll make some profitable waves.

Alas, it looks like this year, again, he'll just have to be the pool's overseer as other, less dedicated, competitors take the money he so diligently collects.

Kudos to you, Steve, for all your hard work in this activity, and may some day your efforts be rewarded.
 
Even on the "Kids'" sheet I have Duke losing in the next round!
They choked all year and were emasculated by UNC.
Although, I broke one of the cardinal hoop rules:
NEVER pick football powerhouses; they just don't know how to win basketball games (see Alabama and West Virginia).
