Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

BCB March Madness Update #2

We're down to the Final Four of March Madness.  Once again, not all of the #1 seeds survived into the last weekend.

If you had picked a bracket based on the tournament seeding, you'd be in 12th place right now, but you'd also be out of possible additional points.  And if you're Barack Obama, you'd be in 56th place and sitting in the 46th percentile across all of ESPN.

Based on my analysis - and I didn't look thru every single entry - I find that five entries still have a chance to take home the BCB trinket.

Our current leader, burncruisin 2, needs NC to defeat UConn on Monday night.  Anything else, and someone else will win.

Elia'sTirade, currently tied for second, has three ways to win: NC over MSU, Villanova over MSU, or MSU over NC.

Cublee can claim the prize with UConn over NC.

If it's a UConn-Nova final, Heine411 wins no matter who cuts down the nets.

And for the longshot this weekend, if MSU beats Villanova, noakley wins it all.

Good luck to our five remaining contestants, and if someone sees a combination I missed, please post it.

I just can't picture the spartans prancing around in green ;-)

Funny how loneliness sounds so good, until you hear the echoes of your soul burning a hole in your shirt. -DJM
