    Double check your picks this morning involving any of the four games played last night!
    I believe the first game is scheduled to start @12:00 P.M. EST

    Syracuse off to a hot start v West Virginia. That zone that they use is giving WVA a lot of problems

    "Don holds his lead at 71 points, I'm in 2nd with 69 and Bill is 3rd. If it's a Gonzaga/Baylor final Bill will win. Only way (I think) anybody else can win is if Baylor loses to Houston and Gonzaga wins. Maybe then I can sneak in since I'm already ahead of Bill. I think if both Gonzaga and Baylor lose in the semi's then nobody will score any more points and Don will win."

    Since I am ahead at this point, I think I will withdraw and take my trophy home with me!:)

    Think I will disagree about calling it now. :)

    However I agree with your analysis. If Baylor wins their way into the final I believe that is what I need.

    If Baylor does not win then there is no way I can win. If Gonzaga wins it all but Baylor doesn't go into the final then you win.

    Bill, I just looked at Don's Final Four. He has Illinois winning it all. Regardless of whether Baylor wins or loses, if Gonzaga wins it all, it looks to me like you win.

    Sid, Terry also has Gonzaga winning it all and if Baylor does not win then he would stay ahead of me.

    KP also has Gonzaga winning it all but so do I so he can't pass me. If Gonzaga and Baylor lose in the first playoff for the finals then Don would win I believe.

    I am a big Baylor fan at the moment. :)

    Ah, I see. I did not look at others' brackets. It's a good thing that it's not decided until the end, at least IMO.

    I think Baylor has won it for me.

    They may give Gonzaga a very good game. Assuming Gonzaga beats UCLA of course.

    Thanks Terry, early on I was near last but kept creeping up the standings.

    Was a big Bayor fan today and they look really good. Monday night might be a very good game.

    Thanks and the Gonzaga - UCLA game was exciting. I didn't expect UCLA to be so good. Almost made it to the final game as an 11 seed.

    Mondays game could be very interesting.

    That was such an emotional win for Gonzaga you have to wonder if they will have it in the tank to beat a great Baylor team who barely broke a sweat in beating Houston.
