...there

Here's a fun little tidbit to think about next time you fill out a pre-NCAA contest entry: in each of the past 7 years, and in 19 out of the last 25 years, at least one team from the previous year's Final Four made it again. For example, last season the surprise of the 2012 Final Four, Louisville, repeated its Final Four appearance and won the national championship for good measure. This year, with Wichita State and Louisville both going down to Kentucky (and with Syracuse losing to Dayton in the 2nd round), the only hope for a repeat Final Four team is Michigan, after the Wolverines beat Tennessee by two.

At least 50 of our entrants were happy with Michigan State's two point victory over Virginia. Kentucky and Michigan were each the darling of 19 contestants, while only Barone and A Cristinzio are toasting 7-seed Connecticut's latest Elite Eight appearance.

J Donadio, Jr. has dropped from the top spot and is currently in 3rd place, stuck on 223 points. M Josephs surged into the lead for the first time since 1998, with 232 points, though Madison Leach (229 points) is hot on his proverbial heels. Urban Angels (114) and B Wright (136) are still queuing up at the end of the line. Full standings may be found using the link on the right-hand side of the page.
