Assuming there isn’t a 15 seed left because someone got stupid I will take Norfolk state as my last pick. If there’s a 15 or 14 seed left for some dumb reason give me them. Otherwise Norfolk State. 

Posted

Norfolk was still my pick. @Prepuce of Doomis up now right. He picks for himself and Huck and we are wrapped up before lunch on Wednesday oh yea of little faith. As always! 
Hope everyone enjoys as always/ like the banter and back and forth in the thread and Huck and his numbers.

It has now evened way out on the EV front because none of my lower seeds won their second round games. Gonzaga, Baylor, and Illinois all lost. Really needed one.

Poster, Current Score, EV
Huckleberry, 56, 87.18
Zepol87, 49, 70.38
ztejas, 39, 52.81
Wulaw Horn, 32, 57.55

I will work on the Sweet 16 forecast and get that out later today or tomorrow.
