Moving On to the Sweet 16

On the eve of Sweet 16 play, lets take a moment to recap the weekend action.

RIP Zags.

The magical first day for Hennessy continued on Friday morning, with both Creighton and Ole Miss getting those all-important W's.  However, the wheels quickly and tragically came off from then on.  It began with Georgetown dropping to FGCU!, followed the next day by Wichita St pulling the rare 1/9 upset win.  The 1st round upsets turned into 2nd round disappointments, leaving Hennessy with just two horses left in this race(Oregon, Syracuse).   

James had a rough first round, losing all but four matchups.  The weekend was a split, but he does retain both Duke and Indiana.  While most wins is out of the question, he still has high hopes riding on his top two drafted teams.

After Cach's laughable first day, the state of Florida came to his rescue.  In fact, out of his 8 total wins, 7 hail from schools located in the Sunshine State.  Florida Gulf Coast was the 4th to last pick in the draft, yet they are still around for the final 16.  (I'm sure Cach knew this would happen when he picked them)

Bullock, at this point, looks to be the odds on favorite for most wins, and arguably has the best remaining team(Louisville).  It looked grim for everyone else after Saturday, with Bullock having double the amount of wins as the closest competitor.  Sunday saw him lose Minnesota & Cal, but he still is an enviable position.

Daschel lost a few key matchups on Friday(Colorado & Oklahoma) leaving him with shrinking hopes for challenging most wins.  However, he does retain his top two picks(Ohio St, Kansas), and also has the pesky La Salle team.  Almost forgot...TEMPLE!  Finally got a damn win...

WINS:                                               TEAMS REMAINING:
Bullock - 15                                         Bullock - 6
Hennessy - 11                                      Cach - 3
Daschel - 10                                        Daschel - 3
Cach - 8                                               James - 2
James - 6                                              Hennessy - 2
