You're doing better than the President, Ben. He went 11-5.

I got 13 out of 16. I missed by picking Clemson, California, and Minnesota to win.

I'm 12 for 16 with only 176 more possible points.
I picked VCU, Illinois, Clemson, and BYU to move forward. I can't believe UCLA beat VCU by one point

Oops, re-checked my bracket and forgot I had picked Illinois. So I was 14/16 yesterday. I'm 4/4 so far today though...

21/28 but some of mine playing right now are not doing well. It's very exciting with so many so close games but it does make for late nights.

Looks like the Buckeye State went 2-2...

Wiscy ended up winning and OSU ended up losing, both upsets...go figure! I'm still 27/32, but 3 of my Sweet 16 teams are out already.

Groan. I'm 24 of out 32 at this point. Isn't that the definition of mediocre?

At least only one of my Sweet 16 teams has been eliminated (Wake Forest).

22/32.

WAKE killed me. I had them in the championship vs. Pitt.
UGH.
And most of the people in my group chose Pitt for the championship, so even if they win, I won't.

Ha ha. I picked 15 out of the Sweet 16 teams correctly! Arizona was only fly in the ointment. I'm also in the 98th percentile in the ESPN challenge. And I know almost nothing about college basketball!

But, then this morning, I saw that President Obama picked 14 out of 16 correct, so maybe this doesn't mean anything...
