    Bobda has entered the contest, making 11 members so far. It would be nice to have an even dozen!;)

    I'm a fair weather "fan"... when we suck. I don't watch any ball, and have less than my usual abysmal odds of being in the top half. I'll save us all the trouble of seeing me tank by NOT joining. :p

    I imagine the brackets were locked when the early games are tipped off, unlike the football contest where you have a little more leeway.

    Yale gave LSU all they could handle but still lost.

    You are correct Terry, no changes after the first games commence.

    I picked 4 upsets today, NMSU over Auburn...another black eye for my bracket, but the Aggies almost pulled it off, I have Vermont over FSU and that's not looking good and also Belmont over Maryland which is going my way right now. Murray State over Marquette later today.

    Belmont always seems to be an upset specialist. Maryland was fortunate to secure that win today.

    Picked the wrong upsets today. Should've gone with the Gators and Minnesota. I did hit on Murray State though. Belmont and NMSU were very close to being good picks.

    The picks always seem to work out one way or another. You win some and lose some! How's that for some free advice?:( Stu almost had a perfect score for the opening day Congratulations Stu!

    Lucky? Hah! I'll bet you locked the Cat in a room with a laptop and told him not to come out until he had scanned every bit of information on each team and worked up all his probability numbers and then crunched the numbers to come up with your picks!

    2nd day of play is starting out bad for favorites. Oklahoma is easily handling Mississipi and Iowa eliminated Cincinnati.
