Cornell. Ever heard of it?: Day Two results and Round One standings

Ah friends,

32 games down, only 31 to go. It's seemed fast this year, hasn't it? The crush of the first few days is almost behind us. Yesterday, Day 2, was a little more typical than the upset-crazy Day 1. There are only three upsets yesterday, and two of those were 10 seeds beating 7 seeds, hardly an upset at all. The one supergroovy upset was goofy old Cornell taking a pretty good Temple team apart. Go Ivies. Not since the days of those good Penn teams about a decade (remember Bruce Lefkowitz?) have the Ivies had much to cheer about. Go Cornell.

Given that one real upset, there were only 17 points available yesterday. A couple of geniuses, Acy and Matt (both of whom picked before the games were actually played) got 15 of the 17 points. A bunch of the rest of you (Maggi, Bill, Ruth, Dana!, Steve, Scott, and John) got 14 points. The rest of us were, well, craptacular. Those of us at the bottom aren't miles behind (yet) but a few things have to break our way soon or no glory for us.

Liz remains at the top of the heap, but has been caught by her husband, with Acy right behind. It's going to be a good race at the top of the standings, and about 2/3 of the group is within easy striking distance.

Iowa wins the wrestling championship (again), I have about 20 hours of hoop to watch today and tomorrow, it's 65 degrees and sunny here in Maine. What could be better? (My picks could be better, but I'm not complaining. Much.)

After Day 2, then, here's where we stand. See below.

Let's all have a safe Round Two out there.
