Lots of zaniness in the Big South last night, where ninth-seeded Longwood blasted top-seeded Charleston Southern (chosen by 10 of us), and seventh-seeded Gardner-Webb knocked off #2 High Point (favored by 32 entrants). Third-seeded Coastal Carolina (picked by 26) survived, trouncing UNCA (taken by T Joseph, Hahn, and J Broder). And fifth-seeded Winthrop (selected by Crotts, P Leach, and Brenner) edged #4 Radford (liked by Templeton, O'Brien, E Pogach, Tester, and Steinhardt) by one lousy point.
Everyone in the contest chose either Wichita State or Northern Iowa (both of which won last night) to win the MVC -- everyone except Rybaltowski, that is, who so far is still alive with Illinois State, a team good enough to beat E-ville by four.
The only other game with contest ramifications came in the Ivy League, of all places. Yale (chosen by 6 of us: Joe Mc, Templeton, E Pogach, Hahn, Steinhardt, P Ripley, and Nocilla) handled Harvard (taken by 73) in Cambridge, and suddenly the Yalees are in control of the Ivy race. And since (as we all know) there's no tournament in Ivyland, that's a big deal.
We may only be able to post sporadically over the next few days, but we'll attempt to hit the high spots.
