The first round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament and Young Family Bracket Challenge is officially over and perhaps our very own Cinderella story is atop the standings. Mom (Jo) correctly guessed 28 of the 32 possible games in the first round to hold claim of first place, followed by Allison and Eric tied with 25 correct selections.
Mom also tied Brad for the record for most First Round selections (28; 2010) while Eric and Allison are now tied for the second most First Round selections (25) as well. See the records page for more info...
There was a big surprise victory today as VCU rolled over Georgetown, 74-56. A big surprise, but there were two people who correctly chose VCU to make it to the second round: Heather and Teresa! Good call... I think it's bull crap, but whatever.
Beth, our dear sister, is getting pissed off about the bracket challenge. As you can see in the picture of her reaction to hearing that Michigan State lost, and subsequently that Mom is kicking her butt after Round 1 is over, Beth is visibly frustrated. Everyone keep her in your prayers.
And just so everyone knows, UNC was the only team to put up 100+ points in the first round. Don't hate.
Round 1 Official Standings:
So, Doodle is bringing up the rear so far... but she called Morehead St. to go to the Final Four, so look for her to make a push a little bit later on during the challenge. Remember, she has more in her head.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's games - winners advance to the Sweet 16.
Holla-

ReplyDeleteI hate u. Sleep with one eye open!
ReplyDeleteNRA- If Ohio State would lose, that would be hilarious! I'd kinda like that because I would have a better chance to beat ya'll.
ReplyDeleteBoo- I feel your pain.
Mom- stop winning.
I'm going to have to start locking my door. Beth is NOT happy about her picture on the blog. You see how crazy she looks there, what the hell did I do?!
ReplyDeleteAnd Nathaniel, I hope they lose so that you never cheer for OSU ever again. I think that would be worth losing the bracket challenge. :)
Whoa, whoa, whoa little one... calm yourself. Just remember who makes the rules in this Bracket Challenge and controls the blog. You may not like what happens to you! :)
