Turning our attention to the ladies, and an updated leaderboard

Well, the Boilers run came to an end today vs the defending national champ Florida Gators 74-67. Trust me though they had to earn it, we led for much of the first half, and had leads in the second half. One thing won't change though I don't like Florida and will not be rooting for them. I don't care how far I have them going their team is a bunch of thugs. I don't even feel bad for hoping that someone would throw a ball at Noah's face, he is a retard! Sorry Cheryl, but I will be rooting for Butler!! You hate to have moral victories but this was one, and it ends up being a great stepping stone to next year's season. Thanks for the fun ride seniors and coach Painter. Now we turn the attention to the womens tournament. Our Boilers are the two seed in the Dallas Regional and opened up with an easy win over Oral Roberts. Next up we play Georgia Tech Monday night at 9:30. This match up has an interesting side note. The Jackets are coached by Michelle Joesph, and she is still Purdue's all time leading scorer in the history of the program. She then was an assistant coach at Purdue under Lin Dunn, until some nasty alligation surfaced connecting her and Dunn to some well bad relations ;) and Purdue has never really accepted her back with open arms. So, GO BOILERS!! BTFU

Onto the leaderboard, and we have some interesting results heading into the sweet 16, and some people already eliminated. Two regions I believe are all but wrapped up, while 2 are still up in the air. Lets take a look at the leaderboard remember correct picks for this round were worth 3 points.

The Midwest
Cheryl 9 pts for rd 2 brings her to 16 total points
Mike H 6 pts for rd 2 bringing him to 12 total points
The Phoenix 3 pts for rd 2 bringing him to 9 total points
Beading 0 pts for rd 2 bringing her to 5 total points
Midwest breakdown- I believe mathmatically there is no way for anyone to catch Cheryl, so be ready to pick the final 4 Cheryl! Mike H didn't do bad in this round missing out on both Wisconsin and Maryland. Phoenix only nailed Florida correctly, see never pick the Irish! ha. Beading bowed out of the competition, she went for upsets and almost paid off had Miami been able to upset Oregon.

The West
The Duck- 6 pts for rd 2 brings him to 11 total
David- 6 pts for rd 2 bringing him to 10 total
Steph- 0 pts for rd 2 bringing her to 3 pts total
West breakdown- The big difference in this region was Duck picking VCU and David picking Duke in rd 1. Hence giving Duck 1 more point and since they both took the same teams in the sweet 16 and elite 8, David will be unable to catch Duck. So, Duck it looks like you'll be picking the final four. As for Steph, her Hometown team let her down, IU made a good comeback but fell short and all her picks were eliminated.

The South
Nutzonaroll- 6pts for rd 2 brings her to 11 pts total
Design Goddess- 6pts for rd 2 brings her to 11 pts total
Jenn- 3 pts total bringing her to 5 pts total
The south breakdown- One of the more competitive ones. It all comes down to one game on whether nutz advances or there is a tie. If a tie I will get some kind of tiebreaker to you both. If Texas A&M wins Nutz moves on, if Memphis wins DG will tie Nutz as they both took OSU to win the region. Nutz could have won today had Nevada upset Memphis but the wolfpack lost to the Tigers. Jenn bowed out of the competition, her strategy of picking teams alphabetically backfired early when she was stuck with a 16 seed haha.

The East
Jef- 9 pts for rd 2 brings him to 14 pts total
Mr Shife- 6 pts for rd 2 brings him to 14 pts total
Fuzz- 6 pts for rd 2 brings him to 10 pts
The East- Might be the most intriguing, considering Shife started out 8-0 and might lose. Jef made up big ground only missing one pick in this region. Both Shife and Jef have Georgetown and UNC advancing to the elite 8, but Jef goes with the Hoyas, while Shife sticks with his Heels. It will come down to that game to who advances. Hopefully they both win to make it more fun and interesting. Fuzz went with picking Texas schools in the elite 8 but both have been defeated so he has been eliminated from the competition.

I went 10-6 on round 2 not very good. My bracket at school is much better I am in the running to win woohoo!! I somehow picked Vandy and SIU into the sweet 16, WHAT!? haha.

You non sports fans I promise a non sports post on Thurs.
