We'll probably have 3 weeks of double-points - and I'll drop your lowest weekly score. I'm going to stay away from Monday games again. And I'll try to minimize the Tuesday games. I'll only include a Tuesday game if I post the games by Sunday.

Because there are no Monday games I would like to include bonus points for the Maui Invitational in two weeks (pick the winner).

How did they draw this up? Auburn and Iowa State in the quarterfinals seems kind of weird - arguably the two best teams in the tournament. And 3 of the top 10 teams in the country are in the bottom half of the bracket.

Haha you love it! Don't deny it!

If it makes you feel any better, we have almost identical picks for teams and confidence values.

I will be giving an Expert Analysis of this week's games, but not until Rocky posts his picks. I don't want it to look like I'm throwing any lifebuoys out for a drowning man.

seems like they wanted to give UConn as easy a path as possible so they could have a great shot at having the 2 time defending champ in the final. UConn is the sell here, not UNC or Auburn or Iowa State. Uconn vs any of those 3 teams in the final is the most desirable outcome.

I'd prefer to have two different top-10 matchups in the semifinals. That would be must-see tv. But, maybe they do want to ensure they have one really, really good matchup in the finals.

sure, but you're far from a casual who is the person they are hoping to draw. You'd watch the game if it was North Florida vs Columbia in the final.

I mean, those schools have already combined to take down three P5 schools. That'd be a decent matchup!
