Lots of upsets, to be sure.
I read that Warren Buffet's billion dollar challenge only lasted 25 games this year. After 25 games, no one entering the contest had all of them
right, up to that point. That's actually better than the last two years. Odds of someone getting all the matchups right are variously reported at 1 in
128 billion to 1 in some-quintillion. Quicken Loans, which is a co-sponsor of this contest, was supposedly capping the number of entrants at 15
million.

That's interesting stuff Hook! It's hard enough to win a four or five game parlay during the NFL season much less something like predicting a March
Madness bracket. Wow!
Go Aztecs!

Pretty boring day, today. Lots of blow-outs. Wichita State/Kentucky and IA ST./NC were pretty good, though.
Two 11 seeds and one 10 seed are the extent of the Cinderella teams.
SDSU to meet the U of AZ; should be a good game.

Aztecs.... It was a great season. Arizona pulled it out in the end. But, the Aztecs played a great game.

Yep, my alma mater lost by 6 points
Arizona (33-4) struggled mightily for much of the game. It was dominated by SDSU on the glass during the first half and had a very hard time denying
the Aztecs second-chance opportunities.
Nick Johnson—the Wildcats’ star player and 2014 Pac-12 Player of the Year—just couldn’t get on track early, but he sure came alive late.
Johnson posted zero points through the first 37 minutes of play, but he erupted for 15 in the final 2:45 to push his team over the
finish line. It was one of the most improbable, and outstanding, individual performances of the tournament thus far.
This was SDSU's second trip to the sweet sixteen but never a trip to the elite eight. Maybe the third time will be the charm since most of their key
players will return next year.

Michigan State upsets a #1 seed. They now play UConn. Kentucky outs Pitino and Louisville in the Battle of Kentucky.
The first entrants into the Final Four will be decided tomorrow. AZ plays Wisconsin and FLA plays this year's Cinderella team, the Dayton Flyers.
And Mike Trout signs an extension with the Angels...........life is good!
