As we head in to the Sweet Sixteen, I’m currently tied for first in my work pool, while I’m sure I’m trailing well behind in the other pools. 3 out of my 4 Final Four picks are still alive, but with everyone having Kentucky winning the whole thing, I’ll need to get as many points early as I can.
Things look OK here in the Midwest region, where I have 3 out of the 4 remaining teams. Assuming Kentucky makes it out, I should remain in the hunt.
Things look about the same in the West region, although there are more opportunities for me to gain points moving forward.
With most people having Villanova or Virginia coming out of the East, I may be OK here as well, with Louisville having an easier time of advancing.
The South region is where I am hosed, as my pick to go to the Final Four, Iowa State, lost in the opening round. I have little opportunity for future points here, while other’s, who went with Gonzaga or Duke, are still alive.
