How about them Quakers! It's too bad I picked the Gators. Tom

My criteria for Cinderella was low seed, great record, and hot finish (i.e. last 10 games). Delaware is a 13 seed, went 24-5 for the year (3 of 5 losses came in an 8 day span), and they not only won their last 10 games, but won them by an average of 18.5 points.

Meanwhile, although Tennessee went 7-3 over their last 10 and beat some good teams this season, they finished up with a loss to lowly Mississippi State. That implies that maybe, just maybe, they tend to relax against lesser opponents. I guess we'll find out tomorrow around 12:25.

Strangely enough, ESPN doesn't have Delaware anywhere on their Cinderella list: espn.go.com. Regardless, I also have them winning their bracket to play Duke!

Phew... New Mexico hits a last second shot to win! I got lucky on that one! But I'm about to bite it with Penn. C'est la vie!

Well, going 7-1 at the start was the high water mark for me, after that THE WHEELS CAME OFF. Got to love it though, all those upsets.
That's why they play the games....

continued good fortune to all,
