Well. My NCAA bracket is likely dead following UCLA’s loss to Gonzaga last night. I had the Bruins picked to go to the Final Four. I’m in 18th place in the 35-person Bardog regulars\/employees bracket pool. Here are my picks for today’s Sweet Sixteen games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So nice to have 4 live picks in tonight’s 4 games. Yesterday I only had 2 live picks, one of which lost. Today could very well be a day when I move up in my bracket league. I have the highest maximum possible point total (138) of anyone who picked Alabama as champion, so theoretically I still have a path to winning my league, albeit a narrow path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainly, I just want to beat Butt Slut #1. She needs a demonstration that I am better than her in every possible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
