What a fantastic opening weekend for NCAA basketball! There were so many close games - down to the final wire .. and now we've got to wait until Friday for more action. Back to reality. Davidson is the new new Belmont.

Sue continues to lead; Jim, you've moved up a notch! Our leader board all have a decent number of total possible points. Gary's got a lot of firepower left based on his total possible points and could move up. Arlene's our leader here with 174 points. Marc has set the floor with 132. I've only have two picks alive for the Final Four and am in the lower section of the total possible points standings. M'ellen crept up the standings, but also has moved way down in total points.

Be sure to get your picks in if you want to join the second chance pool. LCT Take Two is the group name, the group number is 3610 and cruise is the password.

It's tough being #2. Thanks for the memories, Duke and Georgetown.
