Being in the lead for a day is nice, but I need Mizzou & Michigan State to knock off UConn and Louisville respectively over the next two days to have much of a chance to win. Given how UConn and Louisville have been playing in this tournament, that might be a tall order.

Great job, Dr. Fager! 2nd is where I finished in two other pools too. :o

It should be noted that John Q. Trapp
also got 48 out of 63 games (tied with the first two
finishers with total picks correct) yet
this early 70's phenom with the LA Lakers
came in 6th? How does that happen?

John Q. Trapp officially files for an appeal allowing
him to move ahead of Scav (who picked a mere 43 of 63).
This disparity glares so brightly that John Q. Trapp
has been rendered blind.

Respectfully and painfully signed:
