Assuming Marquette doesn't make a miraculous comeback, Bart and T REX will be the only people left with perfect brackets after the first 8 games.

I went for a silly upset pick with Northeastern over Kansas, and Belmont burned me, so a bit of a tough day 1. Nothing catastrophic, though. So surely that means some crazy sh*t is about to go down today.

Dude and T REX are tied for the lead after an impressive 27/32 first round. Dude has managed to keep all of his Sweet 16 and beyond picks. Sh*t starts getting real with increased point values from here on out!

Pretty much nailed all of my upsets and didn’t lose anything significant so a good first round...though I’m willing to sacrifice a final four team for a Florida upset today

Dude is still holding onto the lead after day 3, @no1g8r had an 8/8 day while several of us had a 7/8 day, and @jaywalker72 is our front runner to finish dead last and get his money back. He lost both of his championship game teams (UF & Villanova) yesterday. I guess being bold (some would say crazy) got you your money back!

Glancing through today's picks, it looks as if most of us have chalk advancing, so we'll see what kind of movement we get in the standings.

I’m often good early, and my brackets fall apart starting in the sweet 16. I’m going to wear my 98% right now proudly, while it lasts.

And all this success after adopting @BNAG8R ’s strategy of “digital investigative minimalism while intoxated throughout”.

Or DIMWIT.

Well played sir...well played.

What do you mean by “first”? What happens after that? Asking for a friend...

After a stellar 15/16 second round, Dude is still in the lead. A few of us had 14/16 and are nipping at his heels. Looks like there’s enough deviation in our picks in the next two rounds, so we should see some movement next weekend! :popcorn:

It's basically the chalk except for 2 picks

Yeah pretty much an underwhelming chalk tourney thus far. Will any big upsets happen from here on out? Will it be all #1 seeds in the Final 4? Can Oregon knock off UVA? Can Houston hang with UK? FSU and Auburn looking like Final 4 teams?

Back at it tonight! I'm thinking we're going to either see some separation from the top or it's about to get a lot more crowded up there. :bananarope:
