UPDATE THROUGH DAY THREE
Oh man, for the first half of the day I had to double check to make sure we weren't still in Round One, that's how bad the favorites were steamrolling the lower seeds. With the way Nova and Memphis had failed to impress on Thursday I was sure we'd be seeing compelling matchups now that the competition was stronger, but someone have splashed cold water in their faces as all four of those first games were basically over after 15 minutes.
Like yesterday the final set of games tried to save the day, but they just couldn't QUITE manage it this time! Kudos to Mich and WKU and Texas and Washington for keeping it interesting right down to the final couple minutes, but what a shame that none of them could complete their comeback attempts.
With those results in the books, it's time to give congrats to the seven Elters who went a perfect 8/8 today: octo, wiff, Trent, PDO, QB, my Dad... but the REAL story of the day is how my cousin Max, who was already in the 99.9th percentile heading into the day, ALSO scored a perfect 8/8 and has boosted himself into the 100th percentile- only 836 of the 5 million brackets have outscored him to this point!
My Dad sits 3 pts back, then there's wheat 4 back, and QB, my sister, PDO, and Swaff are 5 back to round out the top of the Elite ranks.
Okay, how let's start hoping for a Sunday of basketball that's more like that Friday. Go go Cleveland St!
