Nobody picked Dayton. Only 29 people picked Wisconsin into the Elite Eight, and those entrants are dominating the top of the leader board in the fairly meaningless "halfway" standings (available from the link on the right-hand side of the page). Florida and Arizona were our 1st and 4th favorite Elite Eight choices, so not a lot of drama there.
Perhaps both meaningful and dramatic is the fact that J Donadio, Jr. (who did not pick Wisconsin) continues to cling to the top spot with 223 points, just 3 points ahead of non-paying ESPN Bracketology (220), and only 5 points ahead of his sister L Donadio (218). Baumgarten (217) is also putting some heat on the leaders.
Only 9 contestants have Wisconsin into the Final Four (Baumgarten, Brenner, Jr., N Donadio, J Donadio, Sr., Haklar, T Joseph 2, L Leach, McKillip, L Schlegel). Florida and Arizona are our 1st and 5th favorite Final Four choices. Again, nobody has Dayton.
In tonight's games, 50 contestants chose 4-seed Michigan State while only 25 took 1-seed Virginia. Ten (10) entrants went with Iowa State while only two (2: Barone, A Cristinzio) took a chance on Connecticut. We had 19 people each who liked Michigan and Kentucky into the Elite Eight, while 43 favored Louisville. Tennessee would join Dayton in the Oops Brigade.
There are no wild cards still standing.
Things will sort out a little more tonight. Enjoy the games.
