At the halfway point of Day 1…..well, what we consider to be the real Day 1 at least, only three of our 118 entries remain perfect with 8 and 0 records. One of those (Luv Me Some Bulldogs) appears to have implemented a strategy based solely on teams with a Bulldog as their mascot – of which there are six in this year’s tournament. Quite a brilliant approach we must admit, especially when there could be no wrong pick when the Gonzaga Bulldogs took on the Georgia Bulldogs. We’ll see how this plays out when Yale Bulldogs, Drake Bulldogs and and Mississippi State Bulldogs hit the hardwood later in the tournament.
Shockingly, the worst picks continue to maintain a record no less than .500 – and there are only ten teams sporting such a record. It could be an all-time high score for the Brandy Award winner!
*Day 1 being when token pity entries, e.g., North Carolina have worked their way in after “play-in” games.
