And we're off!
The first day of the NCAA Basketball Tournament is in the books. No “shocking” upsets to speak of, though #15 Belmont came oh-so close to knocking off #2 Duke.
As for our Hoops Hysteria contest, we have a four way tie atop our SunBlog Madness group here. With or without upsets, 15-of-16 correct picks is, in the words of Adam Sandler, not too shabby! Here are your leaders in the clubhouse:
Brian M. from Chelmsford
Elaine H. from Dracut
Michael C. from Dracut
Thomas C. from Tewksbury
Way to work gang! Of course, if you respond to this post with your last names, we’ll be able to fully identify you. And, yet one more reminder, if you haven’t already identified yourself to me, please do so by sending an email to tpanos@lowellsun.com so we can contact you in case you win. Unless, of course, you’re so ashamed of your picks you don’t want any of us to know who you really are!

teddy,
Great job. I was hoping that Duke would lose that first game. I love longshots at the track and No. 15 seed upsets in the NCAA tourney. for these people who picked 15 out of 16, tell them to meet me at Suffolk downs on Derby Day, the first Saturday in March! Keep up the good work.
