March Madness is underway, though Day 1 didn’t exactly produce much insanity. The only real upset was VCU knocking off Duke, and even that one can’t really be considered a shocker. A lot of “experts” had the Dukies as a one and done entry.
In our SunBlog Madness league of 56-contestants, the standings are quite bunched, as you’d expect on a day without many surprises. Seeing as Yahoo doesn’t award extra credit for upset picks, the lead pack should stay very crowded for at least a few more days.
However, two gentlemen stand out from the crowd heading into Day 2; Bob Joiner of Kingman, Arizona and Lowell’s Neil Harrington with 15 out of 16 correct picks. Congratulations to you both on an impressive display. Don’t get too comfy at the top though. There’s a group of 12 sitting one back at 14-points and another 14-entrants (including yours truly) at lucky number 13.
Let’s see if Friday brings a bit more upheaval!
