Awesome atmosphere and perfect seats. My son said he threw the ball back into play from his front row near the basket seat.

Nunge going for 28 today and advancing

Can we get an update before the Sweet 16?

Yeah. I am back working today after travelling yesterday. Ill post update soon

NOTE: Formula takes the first number on duplicates. So projected points 9/10 is Walker for Turtles AND Quinnerly for JSchilling. They are both at 67.4

I have myself at 277 can someone double check

Can you point me to the discrepency?

Yours is correct I had the wrong points for Flager. Thanks

If there’s the amount of parody next year, like there is this year - I think I have a new strategy for this thing lol. 

Yeah, I will still target the top scorers from 1/2/3 seeds. But after that, I think it would be smarter (and probably more fun the first weekend) to go with the top scorers overall vs a 5ppg guy on Purdue...

I went with a completely different approach after last year's abysmal showing.

Seems to be working lol you are blowing away the field

Brutus' rounds 3-8 have been huge. Those are the crucial rounds IMO (and also a complete crapshoot a lot of the time). Rounds 1 and 2 are typically locks and rounds 9-12 you are hoping to get lucky.

Brutus got Walker MSU, Kalkbrenner Creighton, Jones Xavier, and Council Arkansas between rounds 3-8 and those 4 guys alone have combined for 137. That is huge.

I don’t think he’s walking away with it. Game or two swings a certain way this is still up in the air.

Oh for sure. He will lose one of Johnson/Walker tonight in KSU/MSU game. But both have proven to be big time scorers so he at least advances one of them.

Houston and Creighton are big favorites so safe to assume Sassar and Kalkbrenner advance (even if Houston were to falter, he gets to advance Omier from Miami.)

The big one I think is Xavier/Texas. If he can get Xavier advancing, that is huge to get Jones advancing (but a lot of us have the other X guys too - so it just depends who is scoring for X on a given night).

Brandon Miller - worst overall #1 pick of all time since us doing this? Did he even crack 20 total points in 3 games?

Maybe… was Ayo or Kofi taken #1 ever?

Pretty crazy that my team scored almost as many points in the sweet 16 than they did in the first round of the tournament lol. 

You got updated projections Laley after all this madness?
