For those of you who want a quick and easy March Madness game (with no prizes), here's a game: Pick ten first round winners For each correct pick, you get points based on their seed. For example, if you pick Duke, you get 1 point. If you pick Liberty, you get 16 points. Pick five second round winners. Rules are same as the above, except you get double points and your five second rounders must come from your set of 10 first rounders. Whoever has the most total points at the end of the weekend wins. (Its quick & easy because you can score yourself and don't have to fill out a whole bracket.) Post your picks if you want to play. I'll post mine a little later today when I have some time to look at the bracket.
First Round: High points: Arizona over Seton Hall - 8 East Tennesse St over Cinci (watch out America) - 13 Louisville over Xavier - 10 South Carolina over Memphis - 10 Charlotte over Texas Tech - 9 Utah over Boston College - 11 Valporaiso over Gonzaga -15 Easy picks: Georgia Tech over Northern Iowa - 3 Providence over Pacific - 5 Maryland over UTEP - 4 Second Round: Michigan State over Utah - 7 Charlotte over St Joes - 9 Maryland over Syracuse - 4 Illinois over East Tennesse St - 5
Well, this seems popular.
