Black and Blue Brackets

Well, the NCAA Tourney has two rounds in the record books, and Mandy and I are pretty close in our bracket picks.  In some ways, we are both doing poorly.  While we are still above 50% in our predictions, several key losses (Kansas, UNC) will impact us in later rounds.  I was pretty lucky to come away from the First Round without a loss that went beyond the Second, but that did not hold true on Saturday and Sunday.

 

I was not suprised that UT lost in the Second Round, though I did have them making it into the Sweet 16.  They would probably had made it further if they had been given a lower starting seed, reducing the pressure.  Still, they did not look good in the first game, which made me very worried going into their eventual submission to Wichita State.

 

Congrats for a good season to the Tennessee Tech Golden Eaglettes.  Though they lost to Western Kentucky Friday night in the Women's NIT, a postseason performance is still a sign of great accomplishments, and perhaps more to come next year.
