Talk about a crazy first day! Everybody lost at least one Sweet Sixteen team. Georgetown, Vanderbilt, and Marquette really hurt but I really didn't mind it too much. This really up for grabs for anyone to win. I mean, who the hell though Ohio would SPANK Georgetown? Greatest first day ever!

What was everyone's set up to watch the games? Me and my roommate went to a friends place and pulled the TV and couches out to watch the games in the incredible weather. Hope to do it tomorrow as well.

I can't believe I'm tied for first after only going 11-5 and losing 2 sweet 16 and 1 elite 8 team! I have at least a half dozen upsets picked today, so here's hoping we see a repeat of yesterday's madness.

My setup? Yesterday my setup was sitting in an office chair looking at CBS's webfeed while in my office (especially during the good games- I had some time between classes to catch most of the interesting endings) and then half awake/asleep on my futon in front of my 55" HDTV for the late games. Today I am home so will be on said futon from roughly 12pm-12am - usually with a beer, soda, snacks, a baby, or a wife nearby.

My setup up? ha ha...nothing really. I'm listening at work on ESPN radio (8-5pm) and at the same time checking the scoreboard on the internet (bookmarked by the way). When I get home I just opened up my TV and watch the rest away. :mrgreen:

A few leather chairs, a recliner, a few friends, a fridge full of cold beer, and nachos heavy with jalapenos.

That's my set up.

Go Louisville!

I put no faith in my ACC, serves me right.

edit* Holy crap Cornell. I didn't expect the "whupping" they are putting on Purdue. The Nard Dog would be proud.

Temple going down is yet another loss for my Sweet Sixteen. I picked some upsets, just not the right ones. Jeez.

The Mizzou and Clemson game is a straight up sprint meet. Who cares about half court offense when you can run fast breaks the entire game? Diggin it. Need Mizzou and Siena to win to recover some points.

Whoa.

I'm loving the upsets, even if they're not in my favor. Nothing more boring than the seeds being just that.

edit* Um. Earth to Wisconsin.

So at the end of a not-as-exciting second day we got:

Luke: 240
Seven0sevin: 220
Chupon: 210
dsheinem: 200
Koopin_Krackerz: 190


Very close still and there's a chance for movement since many have lost plenty of Sweet Sixteen teams already. I'm getting the supplies to ship my copy of Power Stone 2 haha.

Day 3 has already started and that means Sweet Sixteen spots are on the line. It's still tight in our pool and a few upsets could change everything. Time for teams to start flexing their muscle.
LET"S GO VOLS!
