First Round (30-2)
Thursday: 16-0
Friday: 14-2
Obviously I was feeling pretty good after the opening round. I expected to do well but this still shocked me a little bit. There were plenty of close games but no real crazy upsets this year. Even the "upsets" that we did have were not truly upsets. Doing well in the first round was very important for having a chance in my pool but as it turns out, it didn't matter.
Second Round (9-7)
Saturday: 5-3
Sunday: 4-4
This is what I was worried about. Having St. Mary's, Cincinnati, and Michigan in the Final Four was a huge stretch and things obviously didn't go as planned. Thankfully, Michigan was able to hang on to do a little damage control. St. Mary's and Wichita State both had chances to win which would have helped a bit but all in all this round destroyed me. I would assume that most of America's 'East' region is a dumpster fire like mine with popular pick SMU(6) losing in the first round and Villanova(1) and Duke(2) losing in the second round.
All things considered, I do have the winning team advancing in 39 out of 48 games to this point (81%) which is better than expected. However, when the smoke cleared after last night's Cincinnati loss, only 1 of my Final Four teams was left standing.
