A Tie At The Top!

Fans,

Some excitement at last. Calvin and Sophie are now deadlocked at the top of the heap, with 79 points each. It's going to be a nail-biter. There are others with a chance to sneak through, too. I'll write out the Final Four picks later this week, so you can play along at home, especially those of us with nothing left to cheer for.

Today's geniuses are Sarah Prown and Ben Peterson, both picking the two games correctly. I honestly didn't give Michigan State much of a chance in the tournament, but they looked great today, I gather. Go Spartans. I'd like to see the Big 10 do well every now and then, even if Iowa is hopeless. Four of their players quit the team this week, so it looks as though next year will be just as bad. On the plus side, I did correctly predict that Tiger Woods would catch and whup Sean O'Hair today, so I'm doing far better (1 for 1) there than in hoop. Frankly, there's no chance Tiger going to lose against a guy (kind of) named for an airport.

Anyway, back to basketball. Here are the standings after four complete rounds:
