Underdogs Defeat Spot Moskowitz

Despite being the ultimate underdog, Spot Moskowitz has faltered in the PSU Track Alumni NCAA Basketball Bracket Pool.  Spot spent years on the street before I lured him to our house with a chicken carcass.  In spite of having only 5 pounds of heft and a cerebral cortex the size of the tip of your thumb, Spot was poised with 3 of 4 favorites to win in the quarterfinal round.    BUT...All three lost, leaving him bereft of semi-finalists and potential points.  It seems that the Underdogs of the NCAA have defeated the ultimate underdog after all.....

Here's the latest update from Ken Cooper, showing Tyler McCandless can do more than run fast:

Finally, Obama is out of the top spot as Kansas gets smoked by VCU.  That gets a “yeah, baby.”  VCA and Butler have crushed the brackets. 

1.       David Strandberg in driver seat with UConn.
2.       Tyler McCandless in driver seat with Kentucky.
3.       Ian McCann – congrats on your 2nd time in the cellar.  Joined a very exclusive group of 2-time cellar dwellars (Wim, Mike Morse, your’s truly)
4.       3 picked Kentucky (McCandless, Scott Munro, Zeb Stewart).  0 picked Butler and VCU.  13 picked UConn.
5.       Average of Final 4 at 0.17 is the lowest in the history of this pool.  Go upsets.
