>>The things that actually surprise me are some of the rankings in each of the regions. Villanova as a 2 seed is a joke - they are seriously leaking oil. Sure, they could go on a run, but they lost 5 of 7. And I still don't buy Syracuse as a #1 seed, not after the 2 losses. But whatever....

>>Amazingly, Duke has the "least toughest" road to the final four. Their region is nothing like the other 3 regions.

>Looks like you were right about Villanova leaking oil. They are trailing 15th seeded Robert Morris by 8 with under 4 minutes to go. Notre Dame already lost. (Good!) Not an auspicious debut for the Big East.

>I almost relented and entered ESPN's pool this morning but managed to stay strong. When I get in a pool I cheer for my picks instead of just enjoying the tournament.

You need to get in multiple pools with multiple brackets. I entered 3 friends' pools (multiple brackets in 2), NBC, cbs and espn. On espn your allowed 10 brackets. ;)

Now if they'd just save the exciting games for when I'm home (radio is not the same). 1 down to the wire upset, a #2 scrambling in OT to survive and a double OT thriller to start the tourney and I'm stuck at work. UGH!
