Default Picks in.

I have my picks in and am usually very conservative with these so often have my brackets busted wide open very soon after the tournament starts.

I do not have anyone getting past Gonzaga for a number of rounds and that includes Nevada if they win over Arizona State. Two of my degrees are from the U of Nevada, Reno and my brother and mother also earned BAs or BSs there.

Some upsets today. Will have seen see what happens tomorrow. None of my alms maters or otherwise connected schools are in it any longer this year-- UNR, U of Denver, BYU, U of MN while the College of San Mateo may not even have a basketball team and they would probably be in a lower division if they did.

The U of South Florida won today and face South Carolina this weekend. This is part of the women's tournament. I have been on the USF campus while checking out their library.
