Half Way Through Round One

Well, I was loving life this evening watching one game on my HDTV and another game on my laptop via March Madness On Demand. Yeah, I was nerding out in the NCAA basketball world. The only thing I didn't do was grab Melissa's ipod and have a third game going on there. Though, if you watched the evening games, there wasn't many that were close.

Harvard was the biggest upset having a #14 seed defeat a #3. So the question is, how far did you have New Mexico going in your pool? Only one pick sheet (Donna Quinlan) had it picked correctly. Oregon vs Oklahoma St was, I guess, another fairly big upset as 25 people correctly picked this game. CAL defeated UNLV is another one correctly picked by only 16 people. I was really hoping for a St Mary's victory over Memphis since St Mary's played on Tuesday night. I thought they would be fresh and in the grove.

But yes, as for this years office pool, it is the biggest one ever! Thank you! We have 84 pick sheets entered, which tops last years 73 sheet by 11. I'll figure out the payouts before the weekend is up and email that out to everyone.

So, after the first half of round one, Don Dennison is tops. In fact, he has the top three pick sheets!! Followed by Paul Woolson, who was the 2012 last place finisher and new to the pool this year, Abbie Richardson. Friday night will finalize the first round, so we have a long ways to go yet.

Finally after the first 8minutes the Gophers looked great!

That was one of the worst starts to a game by both teams I've seen in a long time.
