    Hmmmm, Yahoo has to send you a text message verification now? On top of that, you have to agree to receive advertising text messages? Nope, sorry............

    I was disappointed to see my local team, Weber State, get a 16 seed. I thought they'd see 13 or 14, or at least 15.

    They didn't make it to the tourny during the 4 years with the #6 pick in the 2012 NBA draft, NBA Rookie of the Year, and now NBA all-star, Damian Lillard, but this year they went wire to wire in a tougher than normal Big Sky Conference without him.

    They've been in the Dance many times and won a couple of first round games in their history. Yet a team like Mercer gets a 14 seed and they haven't been in the tourny for 30 years.

    Less than 24 hours left to get in. Looks like we have about 50 entrants so far.

    It's halfway through the first Friday and we've already lost a #3 (Duke), 2 #5s (Oklahoma, Cincinnati), and 2 #6s (Ohio St, UMass). Warren Buffet has no doubt held on to his billion $.

    Good stuff

    Lots of carnage. A few posts up I was disparaging Mercer for getting a 14 seed, and they knock off Duke.

    #16 Weber State put in a respectable perfomance losing to Arizona by "just" 9 - The spread was +20.

    One guy is still perfect so far. But...he didn't enter the Billion Dollar Challenge.

    I wonder what the odds of that are - still being alive after day 2?
