I feel surprisingly good about it.

I considered them. I took Auburn. My logic was stay in the 4-6 seed range for first round and on UConn’s bracket since those teams won’t likely make a miraculous run to final four and leave me in a tight spot. You already took BYU and it’s lame to have the same pick in the first round when so many teams are available. San Diego State sounded like a place people go to school to enjoy nice weather and meet hot girls not play basketball and Auburn was playing Yale so I went Auburn.

On another note. The field is not looking good for me in the MVP wager. Jokic 35 points and 16 rebounds against the TWolves last night. Ant Man had a great game but Joker still outplayed him. Ugh,

I was reading an article late last night that said 11 seeds are the new 12 seeds, who were previously known for early round upsets. Guess it was so.
