Pool reporting
After whiffing on a bunch of the early 7-10s/8-9 games (plus missing on the required Ivy League pick), I made a nice recovery thanks to some great games in the final time window of the first round. I can't believe it took until the end of the first round for a 12 seed to win a game, given past history. Butler had a big chip on its shoulder from being snubbed last year and probably can thank Georgia for getting into the field this year. However, I've always found it hard to accept Mississippi State as a legitimate contender, even the year it made the Final Four.

The end of the Maryland win will be on highlight reels for years to come, although it's too late to be in that Pontiac promotion that's been showing during the tournament.
