OK, so you picked Middle Tennessee State to beat Minnesota, you only missed one pick at this point and you’re feeling even better about yourself that you did at lunch time. Guess what? You’re not alone – even remotely. 30 entries are among the leaders, having picked seven of eight games so far. And there are two perfect entries at this point, both seemingly related. Both Ren and Stimpy have defied the odds and have a clean bracket. Uh oh!
It might be described as the most widely predicted upset ever as 52 or our entrants picked number 12 Middle Tennessee State to defeat the number 5 Middle Minnesota Tech. That’s just short of half of all picks. Are our tournament participants smart or what? Wait, hold that thought, as one of our entries had the Golden Gophers going all the way to (ahem) the Final Four. Cue the Price Is Right fail horn, Waa Waa! That shoots entry 2Legit right into an impressive early lead in the race to the Brandy Award. Still plenty of time though.
We’ll be back after the second half of the first half or if there’s breaking news. Like Seth Davis admitting he made an errant prediction.
