Week 2 - NCAA 2013

Well, I think I have finally recovered from the roller coaster of a weekend that was the round of 32! I thought that it couldn't get any worse than Harvard beating New Mexico but I was terribly wrong!

Before we even moved into the weekend games we had Georgetown bow out to FGCU, Kansas State lose out to La Salle and  Oregon beat OK State. That's OK though because things would correct themselves on Saturday and Sunday. But then #13 La Salle continued to roll getting by Ole Miss and #15 FGCU got by San Diego State and #12 Oregon got by St. Louis. At least we still have Gonzaga to cheer for...but that dream was shattered too by #9 Witchita State.

So the match ups for the Sweet Sixteen are:

#3 Marquette v. #2 Miami (Fla.)
#6 Arizona v. #2 Ohio State
#4 Syracuse v. #1 Indiana
#13 La Salle v. #9 Witchita State
#12 Oregon v. #1 Louisville
#4 Michigan v. #1 Kansas
#3 Michigan State v. #2 Duke
#15 FGCU v. #3 Florida

As for the separation that I anticipated for our little game, I was wrong on that one too. With 48 games played we have a spread from first to Mr. the Hut of 7 points. Leading the way is Ben sitting at 33 points. One point back are Jeff, Meghan, Sam and the reigning champ, Jim. Another 4 players, Al, Andrew, Mark and Matt are in with 31. Dan, Pete sit at 30 correct games along with me and my dad. Nathan, Kim, and Elaina are still alive with 28, 28, and 27 points respectively. Jason, AKA Pizza the Hut, formerly know as the Breakfast Club, rounds out our challenge with 26 points and has not technically been eliminated from contention.

Happy Thursday, enjoy the weekend!

GO FGCU!
