Standings after Thursday's games

Freundles,

Another day of hoop, another day of miserable picking by me. It's pretty dispiriting, frankly. But that's my problem. First, a bit of news from last week. I mistakenly overlooked a genius pick. Young Master Harry, Scott and Kate's little guy, correctly picked the Cleveland State upset of Wake Forest, the only one of us to do so. It's a 3 point pick (since it was a 13 seed over a 4 seed), and the additional points are sufficient to move him from last place all the way up to...well...last place. That's ok, he has years to improve. He'll pass me shortly.

Yesterday's genius was our own Matt Peterson, who is the only one of us who got all four games right. Congrats to Matt. A few others (ten of you, actually) did nearly as well, getting three of the four games right. The rest of us did less well, sadly.

The big news is, of course, the new leaderboard. Take a look at who is tied for first. Way to go, Kansans! Here are the standings after Round 3, Day 1:
