CHAOS

First let me apologize for the lack of updates. I had some chaos of my own last weekend with WordPress. I had issues which caused me to lose to updates to the site on back-to-back days last week. I decided to take a break for a few days due my frustrations. I’m good now and ready to roll.

Last weekend was chaos. Five teams seeded 8 or worse made it to the Sweet 16. Three of the five teams are in the Midwest region (Loyola-Chicago, Oregon State and Syracuse) while UCLA is in the East region and the Cinderella of the tournament Oral Roberts is in the South. 

The chaos also saw several teams selected to go to the Final Four, Championship or Champion in our pool get booted in the first weekend. The departures of Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa, Texas and Kansas have led to a lot red in brackets. 

The following teams were the only teams selected to make it to at least the Final Four in our pool. The teams in red italics have been eliminated. Yikes. You can see this data from this report: https://www.pickhoops.com/HoopsHysteria/statsgrouppicks

As for the current standings, Joe Lapensee (my dad) is the leader with 46 but 3 of his Final Four teams have been eliminated. Tough break. The rest of standings are bunched up and with games this weekend worth 4 and 8 points these standings will look a lot different come at the end of Tuesday night.

Lastly all 113 entries have been paid for so the pool total is $565. I will post the splits this weekend.
