Title games Wednesday, March 8
Big Sky: (2) Montana State vs. (9) Northern Arizona
Patriot: (1) Colgate vs. (6) Lafayette
Southland: (1) Texas A&M-Corpus Christi vs. (2) Northwestern State
Key details:
Southland: Swing game. We're about 50/50, everyone has a shot at a point.
Big Sky: Also about 50-50 - 7 can pick up a point; the rest of us can hope NAU pulls upset to make it a wash.
Patriot is a wash (everyone has Colgate)

Hofstra- Charleston was a major swing game. I still have Montana State tonight so hopefully I can make up for it.
I know I'm going to plagiarize the **** out of you, Cyclone North and several others when the NCAA Final Four Horseshoe brackets are announced!
1) whatever website I used didn't have Vermont as champ yet
2) so what's up with gipper little rock pick

1. Vermont & UMass play for the title on Saturday.
2. He said it was nostalgia for the Denver pod of the NCAA tournament a few years back.
I like it! Good work.
Gives some of us at the bottom hope (or maybe false hope - heh!)
Go ahead & change gipper's orange to red. We determined it was too late to select different team (DNQ discussion began around post #70) - not sure if everyone had seen that discussion.
Sometimes I wonder how differently some of us might pick some of the second-week leagues if we knew all brackets, matchups and path to the title, prior to our deadline.
Too bad there's no convenient mechanism to have multiple deadlines depending on when tournaments tip. I suppose it could be split into two separate deadlines ... but I assume that'd be more headache than it's worth (both for administrators and contestants).
