OK, normally we’d wait until the first half of the first day games are complete before chiming in, but after the first four games the results, and the trends at this point, are so remarkable that we felt compelled to provide some words of comfort.
Are you feeling despair already because you’ve whiffed on half of your picks so far? Well, fear not, because you have plenty of company. In fact, 93 of us are batting .500 or less after just four games. Only 18 entries picked the old reliable 12 seed over a 5, which was fulfilled with High Point’s upset win over Wisconsin. The other “upset” was the TCU, a 9 seed, over the Ohio State, seeded the 8. Even though that’s essentially an even matchup, just 38 entries correctly predicted the win for the Horned Frogs.
More fun facts for your too, as just two entries have picked the first four games correctly while four have whiffed on all four games so far.
Now things stand to change even more dramatically, and you’ll want to check in after the first eight games are complete because Sienna is holding a handy and consistent lead over the overall number one seed, Duke. If that upset should take place our tournament could well be over by the time we reach the Sweet Sixteen!
